An empirical model describing the dissolution of entrapped DNAPLS in variable aperture fractures
Abstract
The goal of this study was to develop an empirical model describing the dissolution of entrapped DNAPLs in variable aperture fractures. Eight long-term dissolution experiments were conducted in two laboratory-scale dolomitic limestone fractures. The effluent concentration profiles revealed three distinct stages of dissolution: the initial pseudo-steady stage, the transient stage and the tailing stage. The majority of the mass removal occurred …
