Transport of dissolved hydrocarbons influenced by oxygen‐limited biodegradation: 1. Theoretical development
Abstract
Many hydrocarbons and related organic contaminants are rapidly degradable in the presence of oxygen. Unfortunately, exchange of oxygen with subsurface contaminant plumes is often slow. In this paper, equations are developed for simulating the simultaneous growth, decay, and transport of microorganisms, as well as the transport and removal of hydrocarbon and oxygen. These equations are solved by conventional numerical techniques to study the impact of microbial kinetics, horizontal mixing, adsorption, and vertical exchange with the unsaturated zone on biodegradation. In the region near the hydrocarbon source, any available oxygen will be rapidly consumed. In the body of the hydrocarbon plume, oxygen transport will be rate limiting and the consumption of oxygen and hydrocarbon can be approximated as an instantaneous reaction. The major sources of oxygen to the plume appear to be transverse mixing, advective fluxes when adsorption is significant and vertical exchange with the unsturated zone. In a companion paper (R. C. Borden et al., this issue), hydrocarbon transport is simulated at a hazardous waste site where oxygen‐limited biodegradation is known to occur.

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.
