Resumo
In this paper we present modifications to previously published models for determining the specific volume of non-aqueous phase liquids (LNAPLs) in the subsurface at and near the groundwater table following a spill or leak from the soil surface. The modifications account for porous media having multimodal pore-size distributions as is often the case with tropical soils. Data from the literature are used to show that the use of multimodal pore-size distributions can lead to significantly different subsurface LNAPL specific volume predictions and possible LNAPL recovery rates, compared to when only unimodal pore-size distributions are considered. Differences of up to 200% are possible when the dual-porosity nature of the pore system is ignored, which can yield erroneous estimates of the time needed to remediate LNAPLs from contaminated areas when conventional systems are employed.
