Abstract

To assess the efficiency of remediating dense non-aqueous phase liquids (DNAPLs), here heavy chlorinated solvents, through injection of xanthan solutions with or without surfactant (sodium dodecylbenzenesulfonate: SDBS), we conducted a comprehensive investigation involving rheological measurements, column (1D) and twodimensional (2D) sandbox experiments, as well as numerical simulations on two-layers sand packs. Sand packs with grain sizes of 0.2–0.3 mm and 0.4–0.6 mm, chosen to represent the low and high permeable soil layers respectively, were selected to be representative of real polluted field. The rheological analysis of xanthan solutions showed that the addition of SDBS to the solution reduced its viscosity due to repulsive electrostatic forces and hydrophobic interactions between the molecules while preserving its shear-thinning behavior. Results of two-phase flow experiments depicted that adding SDBS to the polymer solution led to a reduced differential pressure along the soil and improvements of the DNAPL recovery factor of approximately 0.15 and 0.07 in 1D homogeneous and 2D layered systems, respectively. 2D experiments revealed that the displacement of DNAPL in multilayer zones was affected by permeability difference and density contrast in a heterogeneous soil. Simulation of multiphase flow in a multilayered system was performed by incorporating non-Newtonian properties and coupling the continuity equation with generalized Darcy’s law. The results of modeling and experiments are very consistent. Numerical simulations showed that for an unconfined soil, the recovery of DNAPL by injection of xanthan solution can be reduced for more than 50%. In a large 2D experimental system, the combination of injecting xanthan with blocking the contaminated zone led to a promising remediation of DNAPL-contaminated layered zones, with a recovery of 0.87.
