Abstract
A method for determining the diffusion radius of in-situ injection and remediation of contaminated soil and groundwater. According to the triangle method, the hole spacing is perpendicular to the groundwater flow direction, the row spacing is along the groundwater flow direction, and the flow diffusion in the groundwater during the effective time of the remediation agent reaction is considered. Under high pressure rotary injection, the remediation agent and a certain proportion of bromide ions are simultaneously injected into the aquifer as a tracer. The diffusion of the agent is determined by observing the phenomenon of slurry-returning and slurry-channeling of adjacent injection points. After the completion of the injection, the groundwater is quickly sampled in fixed depth, the tracer concentration is quickly detected on site, and the concentration of bromide ions in the groundwater is compared with the background value. Comprehensive determination determines the optimal diffusion radius.

Therefore, the present embodiment is also referred to as ten round tracer method to determine the diffusion radius of the agent.
(14) The guided-boring adopts a method of using a pneumatic air DTH hammer to impact the rotary drilling, for leading the hole to the hard layer of the miscellaneous fill layer or the original building foundation, then 10 in-situ injection points (drilling holes) are completed in sequence, that is, three groups of test points with the depth of the guided-boring being about 3 m.
(15) Step two: remediation agent preparation: the sodium bromide is selected as a tracer, added to a typical concentration of remediation agent solution/slurry in a certain proportion, and injected it into the target aquifer (contaminated area) in high pressure injection process. The preparation concentration of bromide ions and the dosage way: the mass ratio of the remediation agent to the tracer is: the remediation agent:sodium bromide=100150:1, and the initial concentration of sodium bromide is 300700 mg/L.
(16) Step three: in situ injection of the remediation agent (high pressure injection): using gas (compressed air) and liquid (remediation agent solution/slurry) double pipe method, the injection pressure parameter of the remediation agent liquid flow (high pressure grout pump) is 2530 Mpa, and the injection pressure parameter of the compressed air (air pump) is 0.70.8 Mpa. The remediation agent is injected into the soil and groundwater while being prepared with the bromide ion to be a solution.
(17) a) Agent injection at the injection points of Group I (4 holes): during the injection process, the slurry-returning at the first hole of the group is observed, and the construction of the remaining adjacent holes requires simultaneous observation of the slurry-channeling and the slurry return;
(18) b) agent injection at the injection point of Group II (3 holes): during the injection process, one hole of Group I is used, and the construction of the remaining three adjacent holes requires simultaneous observation of the slurry-channeling and the slurry return of adjacent holes;

(20) Step four: the determination for the injection process through observation method:
(21) a) test of Group I: determining initially whether the R value is too small by judging whether there are serious slurry-channeling and slurry-returning;
(22) b) test of Group II: determining initially whether the R value is too large by judging whether there are no serious slurry-channeling and slurry-returning;
(23) c) test of Group III: determining initially whether the R value is reasonable by judging whether there are less serious slurry-channeling and slurry-returning.
(24) the conclusion is that the diffusion radius of the Nth group (N=1, 2, 3) is reasonable, therefore, the Nth group is selected as the focus of the tracer monitoring sampling point.
(25) Step five: monitoring and detection of bromide ions in groundwater: the monitoring points of bromide ion concentration is mainly placed in the test group where R.sub.0 is more reasonable while considering porous effects such as single hole, double holes, and triple holes, the selection of monitoring points being C1, C2 (double hole), C3 (triple hole), C4 (single hole), C5 (background value). After all injection points have completed the injection of the agent for 24 hours, the groundwater samples are rapidly collected using a fixed depth quick-sampling system (those that are far from the center of the injection points as the bromide ion background value), promptly sent to a third-party laboratory to detect the concentration of bromide ions in groundwater (samples may also be sampled in advance, but the sampling point setting must not be within the radius of influence of the in-situ injection point test to prevent the accuracy and representativeness of the test from being caused by short-circuit) while quickly testing the samples to be tested on the retained site. The quick fixed-depth sampling system method described above uses a Geoprobe rig to press a 2.25-inch steel casing with a disposable drill bit at the bottom, and a steel screen tube with a length of 1.5 m and an outer diameter of 1.25 inches into the groundwater aquifer at a predetermined depth before lifting the outer casing directly, and the internal steel screen tube is set in the designed sampling depth of the bromide ion in the groundwater, then the mechanical ground bladder pump is used to quickly collect representative groundwater samples after the transfer.
(26) Step six: on-site rapid detection for tracer: the collected groundwater sample is rapidly detected by the pH/ion concentration detector for the concentration of bromide ions in the groundwater at the bromide concentration monitoring points. The test conditions are: BR502 bromine electrode; 100 mL of bromide standard solution, 30 mL of reference electrode solution, ionic strength regulator Measuring range: 0.47990 mg/L, pH range 211, solution temperature range 540 C.
(27) Step seven: determination through tracer method: all bromide monitoring points, background value rapid test data and third-party laboratory test data are analyzed, and whether the distance from the injection point represented by the measured sample is within the effective diffusion radius is determined according to whether the concentration of the bromide ion in the sample is greater than the background value. The distance corresponding to the points where the concentration exceeds 50% of the background value is defined as the effective diffusion radius. The tracer determination method is mainly based on on-site rapid data, uses the third-party laboratory data as a test and review of on-site rapid test data.
(28) Step eight: comprehensively determination through the observation method combined with the bromide ion tracer method: the reasonable range of R.sub.0 initially determined by the observation method, and the distance corresponding to the point where the concentration of the bromide ion tracer significantly exceeds the background value is the precise range of R.sub.0 (if exceeding more than 50% of the background value), finally, the three groups of tests are determined by the observation method+tracer method to determine the optimal R.sub.0 for the diffusion of the aquifer, then the smaller value is suggested to be taken as the engineering recommendation data in consideration of the fact that the formation partially contains interlayers and uneven factors as such.
(29) In step one, the holes distribution density (hole/100 m.sup.2) of the in-situ injection is determined by the diffusion radius and the holes distribution pattern while being affected by the shape of the boundary of the remedied area. The holes distribution density range for clay (such as silty clay) being 4546.5 holes/100 m.sup.2 (the diffusion radius is 0.9 m); the holes distribution density range for sand (such as fine sand) being 45 holes/100 m.sup.2 (the diffusion radius is 2.9 m).
Embodiment 1
(30) The present embodiment is an on-site test method for determining the effective diffusion radius of an organic contaminated soil and a groundwater remediation project by using an in-situ chemical oxidation in-situ injection method. The operations not specifically described in the present embodiment are carried out in accordance with the methods already given in the Summary of the Invention.
(31) This project is a soil and groundwater remediation project of a chemical plant in Nanjing. The maximum remediation depth of the soil in this site is 12 m. There are two layers of silty clay layer and the aquifer is fine sand layer (distributed at 36 m or 47 m). The groundwater is shallow (about 1 m) and rich. The target contaminants in soil and groundwater are VOCs/SVOCs organic substances such as chlorobenzene, benzene, and P/O-nitrochlorobenzene. One of the difficulties in in-situ remediation of this project is the lack of practical experience and design basis for the diffusion radius of major strata such as aquifer (fine sand layer) and silty clay layer. This is also the primary problem solved by in-situ chemical oxidation in-situ injection remediation engineering design. The factors affecting the diffusion radius of the agent mainly include injection conditions (such as injection method, pressure), types of remediation agents (such as clay slurry), and grouting amount. The test area is remedied with a target layer of 36 m, the groundwater level is 1 m, and the remediation agent uses a water-soluble persulfate and liquid alkali activation solution. Steps for in-situ chemical oxidation in-situ injectionhigh pressure rotary jet injection tracer test to obtain the diffusion radius of the aquifer (fine sand) are shown in
(32) (1) distributing and guided-boring: the holes distribution parameters are L, B, wherein Lthe optimal holes spacing of the in-situ injection points along the east-west direction (perpendicular to the groundwater flow direction); Bthe optimal row spacing of in-situ injection points along the south-north direction (the groundwater flow direction);
(33) the effective reaction time of the agent is t, wherein tthe effective reaction time of the agent in the groundwater, is considered according to the reaction of 20 days (d).
(34) The in-situ injection has a total of three groups of test holes, the holes distribution parameters of group I: R1=2.3 m, L1=4.0 m, B1=3.5 m; the holes distribution parameters of group II: R2=4.0 m, L2=7.0 m, B2=6.0 m; the holes distribution parameters of group III: R3=2.9 m, L3=5.0 m, B3=4.5 m, wherein the two groups share two injection points, for a total of 10 injection points (the number is shown in
(35) 10 in-situ injection points (drilling holes) are completed in sequence for guided-boring, that is, three groups of test points with the depth of the guided-boring being about 3 m.
(36) (2) Preparation of remediation agent and tracer solution:
(37) 6 kg of sodium bromide solid is added to each 3 cubic metre of oxidant (persulfate) and its activator (liquid base) solution to prepare a uniform solution. The remediation agent and the tracer are fully stirred and then injected into the soil and groundwater.
(38) (3) High pressure rotary injection in situ injection: the high pressure injection operations for three groups of test points (10 holes in total) are completed in sequence, and the depth of the rotary jet injection is in the range of 3 to 6 m of aquifer (fine sand). During the injection of each group of tests, it is necessary to observe the slurry-channeling and the slurry-returning at the injection points.
(39) (4) Initially determination for the effective diffusion radius range through observation method: as shown in
(40) (5) Tracer monitoring points layout and groundwater quick fixed-depth monitoring sampling: the tracer concentration monitoring points (including the background value point) is set up 24 hours after the completion of the agent injection. The principle of points distribution is: according to the single hole effect, double holes superposition effect and three holes superposition effect of different diffusion rad II, the groundwater samples are collected rapidly. The rapid sampling depth of groundwater is 4.05.5 m. As shown in
(41) (6) Tracer on-site quick detection: the MP523 type pH/ion concentration meter is used to quickly test the concentration of bromide ions in the groundwater at the above monitoring points. Before the test, the bromide ion background value of the soil and groundwater in the site is investigated. The background value of bromide ion in groundwater is low (between 10 and 15 mg/L).
(42) (7) Determination through tracer method: according to the literature, when sodium bromide is used as a tracer, the lowest detection limit is 1.0 mg/L, and the recommended maximum ground extraction concentration is 3550 mg/L. The on-site quick test data of bromide ions in the groundwater area is basically consistent with the literature.
(43) The analysis of the diffusion radius results under high pressure injection construction conditions is shown in Table 1Diffusion radius results analysis table.

(45) From the above table and
(46) In the same way, the effective diffusion radius of the silty clay layer may be obtained: 0.80.9 m, and it is recommended to take 0.9 m.
Embodiment 2
(47) As shown in
(48) In Embodiment 1, the recommended values of the effective diffusion radius of two typical soil layers are obtained. R0 for sands (such as fine sand aquifer) is 2.9 m, and R.sub.0 for clays (such as silty clay) is 0.9 m. The holes distribution method is a triangle method, and holes distribution method 1 is for sands. Considering the influence of groundwater flow on the row spacing of the holes distribution parameters, the row spacing increases the effective reaction time of the agent (for example, the effective reaction time of the oxidant persulfate in groundwater is about 20 days). The effective diffusion radius of this holes distribution method is much larger than the radius of the rotary jet mixing area. The holes distribution method 2: due to the poor permeability of the clay, the holes spacing and the row spacing of the holes distribution parameters do not consider the influence of groundwater flow. The optimized calculation process is detailed in Table 2Holes distribution parameter optimized calculation table. After the calculation value is optimized, the final engineering design parameter is obtained by fine adjustment.
(49) The holes distribution density (holes/100 m.sup.2) of the in-situ injection is mainly determined by the diffusion radius and the holes distribution pattern while being affected by the shape of the boundary of the remedied area. After the optimization of the in-situ injection holes distribution parameters in the present embodiment, the in-situ remediation mechanical cost may be quickly estimated from the holes distribution density parameters, and the utility is strong. The holes distribution density range for clay (such as silty clay) being 4546.5 holes/100 m.sup.2 (the diffusion radius is 0.9 m); the hole distribution density range for sand (such as fine sand) being 45 holes/100 m.sup.2 (the diffusion radius is 2.9 m). Therefore, the economics of in-situ injection technology is shown to be significantly better than that for clays.
