Determination of effective air-water interfacial area in partially saturated porous media using surfactant adsorption
Open accessAbstract
The effective specific air‐water interfacial area in a sand‐packed column was measured at several water saturations (Sw) using a surface‐reactive tracer (sodium dodecylbenzene sulfonate (SDBS)) and a nonreactive tracer (bromide). Miscible displacement experiments were conducted under steady water flow conditions to quantify the retardation of SDBS resulting from its adsorption onto the air‐water interface in a sand‐packed column. A consistent trend of increased retardation of SDBS compared with the nonreactive tracer, bromide, was observed with decreasing Sw. The data for air‐water surface tension measured at various SDBS concentrations were interpreted using the Gibbs model to estimate the required adsorption parameters. The retardation factors (Rt) for SDBS breakthrough curves were then used in combination with the estimated SDBS adsorption coefficient to calculate the values at different Sw. For the range of experimental conditions employed in this study, the retardation factor for SDBS ranged from Rt = 1.00 at Sw = 1.00 (Rt < 1 due to SDBS sorption on sand) to Rt = 3.44 at Sw = 0.29 (which corresponds to ). These values are in agreement with theoretical predictions and recently published data. Improvements needed to overcome the experimental limitations of the presented method are also discussed.

Specific air-water interfacial area increases as volumetric water content decreases.
“It is well established that aaw increases with decreasing θw (e.g., Kim et al., 1997; Anwar et al., 2000; Peng and Brusseau, 2005; Brusseau and Guo, 2021; El Ouni et al., 2021).”

About these checks
Registry, retraction, Cites and statistics results are computed, not judged, with one exception: a printed reference that no index lists is read once by a model before it counts as a citation error. Claims are extracted by a model and kept only when their quote appears verbatim in the text; each cited source is then checked, with a model’s help, for whether it says what the claim relies on. Those verdicts can be wrong — read the claim’s quote and the cited source before relying on one.
Statistics and arithmetic are recomputed, not judged.
Confidence bands are shown only for fields calibrated on our annotated test set. None is calibrated yet, so no band is shown.
