Abstract

The global attempt to protect and restore the major water resources encouraged hydrologists to develop new, simple and effective aquifer remediation methods. A new in-situ remediation procedure is proposed to remove Volatile Organic Compounds (VOC) dissolved in groundwater. This is accomplished by injection of air into a well, using a combined technique of air-lift pumping with a form of vapor stripping. The feasibility of the proposed method was analyzed using concepts of mass transfer of VOCs from water to air bubbles and transport of VOCs in porous media
