Modeling Dissolution of High Explosive Formulations

Development and testing of the Training Range Environmental Evaluation and Characterization System (TREECS™) for Arctic/sub-Arctic conditions

“…It is reasonable to assume that precipitation as snowfall contributes little to dissolution since most of the snow melt runs off rather than infiltrating soil when the soil is frozen, and the soil is usually frozen for snow to accumulate. Preliminary analyses of model results compared with outdoor dissolution data support this assumption (Dortch 2018).…”

Predicting the transport of 2,4-dinitroanisole (DNAN) and 3-nitro-1,2,4-triazol-5-one (NTO) in sandy and sandy loam soils

“…altering the breakthrough curves. Density plays an important role in retardation, as packed soils usually retain a higher percentage of the contaminant and reduces the rate of contaminant transport (Dortch, 2018;Yamamoto et al, 2004). This reinforces the need to include experimentally derived K d s to the models created in GoldSim to achieve simulations as close to reality as possible.…”
