Example 15–1D Transport: Kinetic Biodegradation, Cell Growth, and Sorption

Description

A test problem for advective-dispersive-reactive transport was developed by Tebes-Stevens and Valocchi (1997) and Tebes-Stevens and others (1998). Although based on relatively simple speciation chemistry, the solution to the problem demonstrates several interacting chemical processes that are common to many environmental problems: bacterially mediated degradation of an organic substrate; bacterial cell growth and decay; metal sorption; and aqueous speciation, including metal-ligand complexation. In this example, the test problem is solved with PHREEQC, which produces results almost identical to those of Tebes-Stevens and Valocchi (1997) and Tebes-Stevens and others (1998). The example can be run using the phrRunString routine.
