RIA: Vibratory Phase Separation of Immiscible Contaminants in Soils

这项研究的目的是加深对振动对饱和了非水相液体(NAPL)和水的土壤中不相容污染物相分离的影响的基本了解。首席研究员进行的探索性研究表明，在饱和了NAPL和水的土壤介质中诱导的振动可以成功地分离和排出NAPL相。这项拟议的研究将包括一系列实验室测试，以评估NAPL神经节的振动相分离作为振动频率的函数。将评估振动相分离的衰减，将制定土壤-NAPL-水系统中不混溶神经节的相分离和动员的动态标准。

The objective of this research is to develop basic understanding of the effect of vibrations on phase separation of immiscible contaminants in soils saturated with Non-Aqueous Phase Liquid (NAPL) and water. Exploratory studies conducted by the principal investigator indicate that vibrations induced in a soil medium saturated with NAPL and water can successfully separate and dislodge the NAPL phase. The proposed study will include a series of laboratory tests to evaluate the vibratory phase separation of NAPL ganglia as a function of vibration frequencies. The attenuation of vibratory phase separation will be assessed Dynamic criteria will be developed for phase separation and mobilization of immiscible ganglia in Soil-NAPL-water systems.
