Abstract

Oxygen sparging, air sparging and biosparging are based on phase-transfer reactions between multicomponent phases; they use the ability of the aquifer to capture gas phases of significant quantity (- 10% of the pore space). The oxygen-releasing process is governed by phase-transfer kinetics. The characteristics (Henry coefficients, rate constants) and the governing equations of the kinetic model for a multi-component trapped gas phase are presented. First, the hydraulic impact is studied by the IDOXWALL model: variable gas volume, implicit treatment of the gas saturation and operator splitting method. Second, the quasi-exact solution is compared with the multi-component reactive transport model, MIN3P (global implicit method, explicit treatment of the gas saturation), and shows reasonable agreement, especially for larger times (t > I day). Within a 2D-MIN3P simulation we studied the hydraulic and geochemical impact: bypassing the contaminants due to aquifer clogging by gas bubble entrapment and precipitation of hydroxide mineral phases.
