About This Item
Transport and Fate of Dissolved Methanol, MTBE and Monoaromatic Hydrocarbons in a Shallow Sand Aquifer Describes a field investigation into the effect of oxygenates methanol and methyl tertiary - butyl ether (MTBE) on the fate and transport of benzene, toluene, ethylbenzene, and xylenes (B TEX) in groundwater. Natural gradient tracer experiments were conducted to simulate the transport of dissolved plumes resulting from subsurface rele ases of oxygenated fuels. In these experiments, methanol, MT BE, and BTEX concentrati ons were monitored by sampling from a dense network of multilevel piezometers, and plume contours were mapped through applicat ion of moment analysis. A laboratory study on the effects of methanol and MTBE on the biodegradation of BTEX in groundwater was also conducted. The re lative mobility and persistence of BTEX and the oxygenates were charac terized based on field and laboratory study data
