Application of Three-Dimensional Interpolation Methods in Contaminated Site Evaluation

Abstract:

Contaminated sites remediation is one of the hot points in environmental protection fields. Therefore, an important research project is how to expediently determine the bound and level of pollution of contaminated sites. This may help to decide on a timely and accurate rescue plan so as to minimize the costs and to improve the effect of restoration. This is also the basis of contaminated sites remediation acceptance. There are many influencing factors to confirm the remediation areas on contaminated sites. Studies show that three-dimensional interpolation method is effective tool to delimit the pollution scope. Different three-dimensional interpolation methods have different results in contaminate distribution prediction and directly affect the boundary of contamination. This paper selects one specific case with heavy metal lead contamination to study three-dimensional interpolation methods. The three-dimensional stratigraphic model is established for uncertainty analysis and error analysis in the grid through KrigingIDW(Shepard) and nearest neighbor interpolation method. Results show that 40m*40m grids have the highest accuracy of stratigraphic simulation. Nearest neighbor interpolation method is most suitable for stratigraphic model building. Kriging interpolation method is more suitable for constructing three-dimensional pollutant prediction model. On the basis of above, this text established one distribution prediction model of soil lead contamination, and calculated the contaminated earthwork quantity under different remediation goals. Finally, the paper achieved three-dimensional visualization of the site soil contamination. This study can be directly applied to the actual site remediation decision process, and is helpful for the contaminated sites evaluation and restoration in the future.
