The objective of this study is to quantify the effects of humic acid solution infiltration on the transport of organochlorine pesticides (OCPs) in soil columns using a three-phase transport model. From experimental results, it is found that the dissolved organic carbon enhances the transport of OCPs in the soil columns. In the OCPs-only column, the concentration profiles of OCPs can be simulated well using a two-phase transport model with numerical method or analytical solution. In the OCPs-DOC column, the migrations of aldrin, DDT and its daughter compounds are faster than those in the OCPs-only column. The simulation with the three-phase model is more accurate than that with the two-phase model. In addition, significant decrease of the fluid pore velocities of the OCPs-DOC column was found. When DOC leachate is applied for remediation of soil or groundwater pollution, the decrease of mean pore velocities will be a crucial affecting factor.

The feasibility of the lumped approach for reactive transport of 12 organic compounds in mixtures through simulated aquifer sands with different organic carbon content (foc) within soil columns was evaluated. From direct measurements of effluent samples and temporal and spatial pore-water concentration profiles within soil columns, 12 organic compounds in mixtures were sorbed to different extents due to the different dependence of sorption on foc. Considering the tradeoff between accuracy and simplicity, four, five, and six pseudocompounds were determined for simulated aquifer sands with foc of 0.006%, 0.051%, and 0.221%, respectively, to approximate the reactive transport of 12 organic compounds in mixtures. Each pseudocompound presented obviously different reactive transport behavior in terms of both sorption capacity and nonlinearity, indicating that each pseudocompound contained components with relatively similar sorption capacities and nonlinearity. Similar to the results from batch equilibrium sorption tests, log Koc can be used as the a priori grouping criterion, although the relative contributions of different forces to the overall sorption may differ for different composition of organic mixtures and foc values of aquifer sands. Finally, the assignment of the Freundlich sorption parameters of pseudocompounds using averages of Freundlich sorption parameters of their components led to reasonable prediction for reactive transport of organic compounds in mixtures through the soil columns. Further study is warranted to evaluate the effective coupling between lumped approach and reactive transport model using complex multicomponent mixtures within heterogeneous subsurface systems.
