Determination of Retardation Factor of Perchloroethylene in Low Organic Carbon Aquifer

Abstract:

The retardation factor (R) expression was deduced for amended double-mode sorption isotherm of perchloroethylene (PCE) in low organic carbon content (0.080~0.090%) aquifer. The retardation effect varied with the solute concentration, the higher the concentration was, the lower the retardation factor. The values of R were determined and compared with the estimation values based on octanol-water partition coefficient (K_ow), solubility data of a particular compound and Linear Free-Energy Relationships (LFER). It indicated that there were obvious discrepancy of R among the determinations and estimations. Although how to determine the exact value of R is still questioned, it may be advisable and feasible to understand the retardation effect using batch sorption tests in studying the transport of pollutant in aquifer, especially in mathematical simulation study.
