In modeling subsurface contaminant transport, sorption is often simplified by assuming instantaneous equilibrium, isotherm linearity, and sorption-desorption singularity. Data exhibiting behavior that deviates from that predicted by this simple model have been reported, challenging the validity of these assumptions. This nonideal sorptive behavior has been attributed to several different factors, including kinetic sorption reactions, diffusive mass transfer resistances, isotherm nonlinearity, and sorption-desorption nonsingularity. These factors are examined and their relative impact on contaminant transport is evaluated. For hydrophobic organic compounds, physical nonequilibrium (i.e., rate-limited mass-transfer in aggregated or layered systems) and intraorganic matter diffusion (rate-limited diffusion within the sorbent organic matter matrix) are probably the predominant factors causing nonideality. The relative importance of these factors is scale-dependent. For smaller scale systems, mass-transfer limitations associated with aggregated media and/or sorbent organic matter appear to predominate, whereas aquifer heterogeneity appears to be dominant at the field scale. |
