Abstract |
A modeling framework was developed to predict the transfer of hydrophobic organic chemicals between bed sediments and overlying waters. The approach entails coupling a description of the microscopic scale process of sorption kinetics with models of the exposure of bed particles to adjacent waters of varying composition (i.e., due to diffusion of solutes in interstitial fluids or porewater advection, biological mixing of surficial sediments, suspension of bed solids for a period into the overlying water column). Numerical simulation routines are developed both for sorption kinetics and to demonstrate coupling of the particle-water exchange to particle movements in the case of a biologically mixed bed. These routines were used to assess the sensitivity of sorption kinetics and the overall transport to chemical and sediment properties. The model result is then combined with the sorption kinetics subroutine to estimate bed-water exchange in instances where these processes greatly facilitate bed particle-water column contact. |
