Abstract

Transmission of pollutants to high vulnerability groundwaters is significant due to the uncontrolled growth of water harvesting from wells in recent years. One of the significant parameters for the pollutants transfer to groundwater is the presence of Colloidal Particles. These particles often facilitate the transfer of pollutants to lower soil depths in saturated conditions. However, in particular circumstances, they also delay the transmission of pollutants. Therefore, it is necessary to study the effect of various parameters on the transfer of pollutants in the presence of colloids. In this research, in order to investigate the effect of various parameters and the effect of colloid presence on pollutant transfer, first, a hexavalent chromium transmission experiment was performed in the presence of bentonite Colloidal Particles in a saturated porous medium column. Then a one-dimensional Numerical Model has been developed based on threephase equations and interactions of soil, colloid particles, and pollutants in a saturated porous medium. The equations in this research include six differential equations that have six unknown parameters. These equations are solved with Finite Difference Method, which uses two points reverse differential approximation for derivatives of time and central difference approximation for spatial derivatives. The Numerical Model was calibrated with experimental results with a determination coefficient of 0. 98 and constant coefficients of the equations were optimized. Investigation of the important parameters showed that by increasing the deposition rate of Colloidal Particles on the solid matrix, less pollutant content was transferred, which is a fact for the effect of Colloidal Particles on pollutant transport. Also, increasing the rate of pollutants absorption by Colloidal Particles and increasing the flow velocity, increases the pollutant transport. The results indicated that doubling the hydrodynamic diffusion coefficient of the contaminant and Colloidal Particles increased transmission by more than 100 times at the beginning of the experiment and by approximately 15% at the end of the experiment. Finally, the increase in porosity increases the gap between the particles and the chromium transmission. The results of this study indicate the significant effect of bentonite Colloidal Particles in facilitating and enhancing chromium transport in saturated porous media. Also, the diffusion coefficient has the most influence on chromium transport in the presence of Colloidal Particles in the saturated porous media. As a result, the presence of Colloidal Particles in groundwatercontaminated environments should be monitored and the effects of parameters in that environment should be determined by modeling to take the necessary measures to control it.
