This paper reviews the state-of-the-art for the measurement in the laboratory of diffusion
coefficients of chemical waste constituents in fine-grained soils. The purpose of the review is …

The protection of groundwater and surface water from contamination by the escape of
contaminant from waste disposal is now an important consideration in many countries of the …

Diffusion in Natural Porous Media: Contaminant Transport, Sorption/Desorption and
Dissolution Kinetics introduces the general principles of diffusion in the subsurface …

Recent studies suggest that diffusion may be an important, if not dominant, mechanism of
contaminant transport through waste containment barriers. This paper represents the first of …

This paper discusses the effects of a potential leachate leakage from a municipal solid waste
landfill, situated at Mavallipura, Bangalore, India, on the surrounding water bodies. The …

The constitutive relationship between water content or degree of saturation and suction is
called the soil-water characteristic curve. The soil-water characteristic curve provides a …

The effective diffusion coefficients, D*, of three anions (Br-, Cl-, and I-) three cations Cd 2+,
K+, and Zn 2+ diffusing in two compacted clay soils, kaolinite and Lufkin clay, are measured …

In a new conceptual model for immiscible‐phase organic liquids in fractured porous media
that specifically includes the effect of molecular diffusion on the persistence of organic liquid …

Diffusion of contaminants can play a significant if not dominant role in many applications
encountered within the field of environmental geotechnics. The objective of this paper is to …
