"The objective of this research was to measure the time of travel (TOT) of inorganic solutes passing through laboratory columns of compacted clay and to compare measured and predicted TOT's. Two clay soils were used: kaolinite and Lufkin clay. Anionic tracers were chloride and bromide; potassium and zinc were the cationic tracers. Column tests were used to measure the TOT of tracers and to determine the effective porosity ratio, which is defined as effective porosity divided by total porosity, of the soils. The effective porosity is equal to the volume of the void space that conducts most of the fluid flow divided by the total (bulk) volume of the soil. The effective porosity ratio Increased with increasing hydraulic gradient in kaolinite from a low of about 0.25 at a gradient of 1 to a high of 1 at a gradient of 20. With Lufkin clay, the effective porosity ratio was between 0.02 and 0.16. Breakthrough times were controlled much more by the low effective porosities than by molecular diffusion. The computer program SOILINER, which was developed by EPA for predicting TOT's through soil liners, predicted TOTs that were larger than actual TOT's by a factor of up to 52. The failure to account for effective porosity ratios less than 1 was the cause for the poor predictions from SOILINER." |
