Résumé :
|
The purpose of this work was to investigate the effect of solute diffusive-dispersive transport in porous media. Miscible displacement experiments were performed with tracers of various sizes : tritiated water, pentafluorobenzoate (PFBA), and 2,4-dichlorophenoxyacetic acid (2,4-D) and a homogeneous nonreactive sand for pore-water velocities varying by three orders of magnitude. Hydrodynamic dispersion is the predominant source of dispersion for higher pore-water velocities and dispersivity is, therefore, essentially independent of solute size.
