Abstract
Description
Technical Field
[0001] The present invention relates to the technical field of contaminated soil and groundwater remediation, and in particular to a three-dimensional simulation system and method for the migration, transformation and remediation of pollutants in an underground environment. Background Art
[0002] Soil and groundwater are important foundations for human survival and development, and are of great significance to environmental protection and the maintenance of human health. However, with the acceleration of my country's urbanization process and the pace of industrial structure adjustment, the problem of soil and groundwater pollution has become increasingly serious. Soil and groundwater pollution control and remediation are inseparable from the study of the pollution characteristics and remediation laws of pollutants in the underground environment. At present, field tracing and laboratory simulation experiments are generally used for research. Field tracing experiments are restricted by the conditions of the site itself, are difficult to operate, have high operating costs, and have great limitations. Therefore, most studies still use indoor experimental research, basically based on one-dimensional experimental columns, two-dimensional experimental troughs and three-dimensional experimental boxes.
[0003] The seepage field of one-dimensional and two-dimensional simulation devices is small and lacks the ability to simulate three-dimensional flow, making it difficult to reflect the actual situation of the contaminated site, making the experimental results unrepresentative. Large-scale three-dimensional devices have the potential to restore the underground environment, but existing three-dimensional devices are limited to simulating a single vadose zone or aquifer environment, lacking the function of simulating an environment that includes both the vadose zone and the saturated zone, making it difficult to reflect the migration, transformation and remediation laws of pollutants in complex sites. Different remediation technologies are deeply restricted by hydrogeological conditions in actual application, and it is also necessary to build scientifically feasible three-dimensional devices to verify the remediation effects of various remediation technologies on contaminated soil and groundwater, and provide key technical parameters for subsequent engineering applications.
[0004] In addition, continuous monitoring of parameters such as pH, conductivity, and pollutant concentration in the simulation area is an important step in revealing the migration, transformation, and remediation laws of pollutants during the experiment.
