This course covers the following topics:
- The basic principles of distribution of chemicals among air, water, and solid phases of soil systems.
- Application of of these principles to analysis and design of remediation treatment systems; soil vapor extraction (SVE), soil washing, pump and treat.
- Overview of landfills, containment, movement of gasses, liner systems, infiltration, and leachate collection systems.
After completion of the course, the students should be able to:
- Calculate the percent mass of a chemical in air, water, and solid phase in a given soil system.
- Simulate and analyze a soil vapor extraction system, a pump and treat system, and a soil washing system for a give contaminated soil system.
- Acquire a basic knowledge of gas generation, movement of gasses, design philosophy of cover and liner systems, production of leachate in landfill systems.
