Abstract:Low temperature thermal treatment (LTTT) is a technology that can enhance aqueous‐phase degradation reactions for organic constituents in groundwater. Understanding heat transfer in groundwater is important for the design of LTTT applications. In this study, the effect of permeability heterogeneity on temperature distributions during and after the application of heat was investigated by numerical modelling. An enhanced reaction zone was determined for the hydrolysis of 1,1,1‐trichloroethane (1,1,1‐TCA) using a… Show more
