Abstract:Based on the limited site experience of the surfactant injection parameters during surfactant-enhanced air sparging (SEAS), the migration behavior of the surfactant in aquifers with different medium sizes was studied by light transmission visualization technology. The results showed that the influence radius of the surfactant injection in the aquifers with different medium sizes increased logarithmically, and its influence area increased linearly, and its migration behavior was obviously affected by the SDBS injection concentration. There was a critical injection concentration (Ci), which migrated upward when it was less than the Ci. When it was greater than or equal to the Ci, it migrated downward. When it was close to the Ci, its migration rate was the lowest, while the further away from the Ci, the greater the migration rate. In addition, in gravel and coarse sand aquifers, the migration process was mainly affected by the buoyancy and gravity effect. However, in the medium aquifer, its migration was mainly affected by the adsorption effect, and its migration range was small. The above research is beneficial for the precise design of the surfactant injection parameters to improve the contaminant removal efficiency during SEAS remediation.
