These chemical andgeochemical interactions affect the relative rates at which chemical species in the migrating fluid (suchas ions) trave

Processes of potential importance inretarding the transport of chemical species in the migrating fluid (movement of species at velocitiesless than the ground-water velocity) include ion exchange, adsorption, complex formation, precipi-tation (or coprec

9、 experts for estimating theretardation of contaminants for given underground geochemical conditions based on a knowledge and understanding of importantsite-specific factors. It is beyond the scope of this test method to define the expert qualifications required, or to justify theapplication of labor
10、atory data for modeling or predictive purposes. Rather, this test method is considered as simply a measurementtechnique for determining the degree of partitioning between liquid and solid, under a certain set of conditions, for the species ofinterest.Justification for the Kd concept is generally ack
11、nowledged to be based on expediency in modeling-averaging the effects ofattenuation reactions. In reference to partitioning in soils, equilibrium is assumed although it is known that this may not be a validassumption in many cases.The Kd for a specific chemical species may be defined as the ratio of
12、 the mass sorbed per unit of solid phase to the massremaining per unit of solution, as expressed in the above equation. The usual units of Kd are mL/g (obtained by dividing g solute/gsolid by g solute/mL solution, using concentrations obtained in accordance with this test method).Major difficulties
13、exist in the interpretation, application, and meaning of laboratory-determined Kd values relative to a realsystem of aqueous fluid migrating through geologic media (1)2. The Kd concept is based on an equilibrium condition for givenreactions, which may not be attained in the natural situation because
14、 of the time-dependence or kinetics of specific reactionsinvolved. Also, migrating solutions always follow the more permeable paths of least resistance, such as joints and fractures, and1 This test method is under the jurisdiction of ASTM Committee C26 on Nuclear Fuel Cycle and is the direct respons

Other in situ conditions (for example, ionic strength, anoxic conditions, or temperature)could likewise have considerable effe

This is because the determined Kd values are dependent uponrock and soil properties such as the mineralogy (surface charge and energy), particle size distribution (surface area),
23、and biologicalconditions (for example, bacterial growth and organic matter). Special precautions may be necessary to assure that the site-specificmaterials are not significantly changed prior to laboratory testing. This may require refrigeration or freezing of both soil and watersamples. Chemical me

In field situations, thecontaminant solution moves from the source through
25、the porous medium.As it moves, it displaces the original ground water, withsome mixing caused by dispersion. If the contaminant of interest has a Kd of any significant magnitude, the front of the zonecontaining this contaminant will be considerably retarded. This means that the granular medium encou

The exchange sites achieve a different populationstatus and this new population status can control the partitioning that occurs when the retarded contaminant reaches the point ofinterest.

In the field, a dual tracer test can be conductedusing a conservative (non-sorbing) tracer and one that does sorb; from the difference in travel

Scope1.1 This test method covers the determination of distribution coefficients, Kd, of chemical species to quantify uptake onto solidmaterials by a batch sorption technique. It is a laboratory method
34、primarily intended to assess sorption of dissolved ionic speciessubject to migration through pores and interstices of site specific geomedia, or other solid material. It may also be applied to othermaterials such as manufactured adsorption media and construction materials.Application of the results

Kd for radionuclides in selected geomedia or other solid materials are commonly determined forthe purpose of assessing potential migratory behavior of contaminants in the subsurface of contaminated sites and out of a wasteform and in the su

This test method is also applicable to studies for parametric studies of thevariables and mechanisms which contribute to the measured Kd.1.2 The values stated in SI units are to be regarded as standard.

Significance and Use4.1 The distribution coefficient, Kd, is an experimentally determined ratio quantifying the distribution of a chemical speciesbetween a given fluid and solid material sample under certain conditions, including the attainment of constant aqueousconcentrations of the
47、species of interest. The Kd concept is used in mass transport modeling, for example, to assess the degree towhich the movement of a species will be delayed by interactions with the local geomedium as the solution migrates through thegeosphere under a given set of underground geochemical conditions (
48、pH, temperature, ionic strength, etc.). The retardation factor(Rf) is the ratio of the velocity of the groundwater divided by the velocity of the contaminant, which can be expressed as:Rf 511b/e! Kd (2)where:b = bulk density of the porous medium (mass/length3) ande = effective porosity of the medium
49、 (unitless) expressed as a decimal.4.2 Because of the sensitivity of Kd to site specific conditions and materials, the use of literature derived Kd values is stronglydiscouraged. For applications other than transport modeling, batch Kd measurements also may be used, for example, for parametricstudies of the effects of changing chemical conditions and of mechanisms related to the interactions of fluids with solid material.5.
