RETENTION OF DIESEL FUEL IN AQUIFER MATERIAL

A study was made to experimentally investigate some of the effects of various system parameters (particle size, porosity, surface tension, fluid density and contact angle on the retention of organic contaminants), and to provide further experimental data on the retention of organic fluids by aquifer material. The study focused on retention in dry soil with the objective of quantifying the wetting residual and evaluating the effects of particle size and porosity on the retention of organic contaminants. The study findings are assessed in relation to some experimental data from the literature.
