“…The literature search during the compilation by Lucius, et al (1989) revealed little published information about contact angles. The purpose of this paper is to make available the measured contact angles of water, mercury, and 20 organic liquids on substrates of quartz, calcite, biotite, and Ca-montmorillonite.…”

“…2). LNAPL is characterized by a very high resistivity and a dielectric constant around 2, according to several authors (Lucius et al 1989;Rocha and Simoes-Moreira 2005;Zaitsev et al 2017) (Table 2). The LNAPL causes 5 cm of water table rise, from 25 to 20 cm (Fig.…”

We discuss a strategy capable of a quantitative long‐term monitoring of water saturation and volume variation of light non‐aqueous phase liquids in the soil. The goal was reached monitoring a controlled sand cell contaminated with classical gasoline over 124 days, using geophysical methods such as electrical resistivity tomography, induced polarization and ground penetrating radar. We show that empirical relations, linking the water saturation to the physical parameters measured as resistivity from electrical resistivity tomography and travel time from georadar with advanced processing, are good tools for this purpose. The consistence of the proposed process is validated by both good overlap of results carried out from electrical resistivity tomography and georadar and theoretical models simulating the actual experiment.

“…Toluene represents the BETX family of groundwater contaminants (benzene, ethylbenzene, toluene, and xylenes) found in association with leaking underground gasoline and diesel fuel storage tanks [ Swoboda‐Colberg , 1995]. BEHP, one of the 10 most commonly occurring groundwater contaminants, is listed as a priority one hazardous substance [ Lucius et al , 1992], and has been deemed undetectable by noninvasive geophysical methods [ Olhoeft , 1992]. We focus on the effects of clay content and concentration of iron on mineral surfaces on our ability to accurately quantify these two contaminants.…”

[1] Laboratory NMR relaxation time (T 2 ) measurements at 2 MHz were used to quantify the amount of toluene and bis(2-ethylhexyl)phthalate (BEHP) in the presence of water in sand-clay mixtures. NMR measurements were made on water, toluene, or BEHP in each sand-clay mixture to understand the role of clay and iron content on the T 2 of each fluid; we then made NMR measurements on mixtures of water and the contaminants in each sand-clay mixture. Our ability to resolve the NMR response of the contaminant from that of water and to quantify the amount of the contaminant varied significantly with the clay and iron content of the sand-clay mixtures. Detection limits as low as 3% contaminant (i.e., percent of the pore fluid, by weight) were observed in some sand-clay mixtures. Our results suggest that NMR measurements could quantify toluene if some clay is present but are unlikely to be useful for quantifying BEHP.Citation: Bryar, T. R., and R. J.
