TECHNICAL FIELD
[0001] The present application relates to a simple method for identifying low-permeability contaminated soil, and also relates to a treatment method for treating locally low-permeability contaminated soil. BACKGROUND
[0002] Regardless of whether leaching or injecting soil remediation liquid is used for harmless treatment by oxidation, in-situ treatment of soil relies on the penetration and diffusion of the treatment liquid and remediation liquid of the soil, and the penetration and diffusion is affected by the permeability coefficient of the soil. In order to improve the permeability, the prior art usually provides injection wells and extraction wells to improve the permeability. Patent document CN201810559905.0, a system for in-situ remediation of contaminated soil and application method, discloses a technology for further improving the permeability and in-situ treating low-permeability soil by using drainage plates and a vacuum pump. However, in practice, the internal composition and structure of the contaminated soil are relatively complex, resulting in uneven permeability of the soil in the contaminated area or the remediation area. Such permeability difference at least includes: 1. stratified structure of the soil, which usually includes topsoil layer, subsoil layer and bottom soil layer. The topsoil layer can be divided into upper topsoil layer and plough sole. The upper topsoil layer is generally porous, and the wet and dry conditions change frequently, the temperature changes greatly, and the permeability is good. However, the typical plough sole is very compact, has small porosity, and has few non-capillary pores (large pores) and many capillary pores (small pores). Therefore, the aeration is poor, the water permeability is poor, and the structure is often in sheet shape, and even has obvious horizontal bedding. 2. Due to soil compaction and other reasons, local permeability coefficient uneven soil is formed in the same stratified structure of the soil. Since the distribution of the internal permeability coefficient, especially the local uneven phenomenon in the same stratification, cannot be directly understood, engineers usually tend to use ordinary injection wells and extraction wells for treatment based on cost considerations. The soil remediation liquid such as oxidant may not be able to penetrate into this part of the contaminated soil, and the water sample extracted by the extraction well cannot reflect the true value of the pollutants in this part of the soil. The soil is mistakenly considered to have met the requirements without being fully treated, and under the action of other factors, the pollutants diffuse again, causing the treated soil to be contaminated again.
