Abstract

Results from laboratory and field experiments show that Triton X-100, a nonionic surfactant, sorbs strongly to the trichloroethene-contaminated aquifer soil at concentrations less than 400 mg/L. Results show that Triton X-100's sorption to the aquifer solids is slow compared to advective and dispersive transport. Surfactant remediation procedures, however, will prove difficult due to sorption rate limitations.
