Partitioning of Solutes Between Solid and Aqueous Phases
Summary
a) Developing defensible conceptual models of processes influencing the mass transfer of inorganic contaminants between aqueous and solid phases. b) Translating conceptual models into quantitative models that can be used to predict the influence of mass-transfer processes on contaminant fate and transport in field applications. c) Developing approaches to obtain parameters required to describe contaminant mass transfer in quantitative fate and transport models that are, to the maximum extent possible, independent of field observations. d) Testing these approaches in laboratory experimental studies, field experimental studies, and field-scale plume characterization studies.
