Abstract

Hydrostratigraphic heterogeneities can limit the success of remediation projects. The present study aimed to evaluate in the field, on a detailed scale, the reach of sodium persulfate when injected through wells with filter sections of 1.0 meter intercepting hydrostratigraphic units of different hydraulic conductivities, in an aquifer with the presence of organochlorines contaminants in the district of Jurubatuba, in the city of São Paulo. The filter sections of the injection wells intercepted layers of fine to medium graded sand, with little silty, and a layer of coarse sand of varied granulometry with the presence of boulders. The monitoring of the persulfate flow in these different layers was done by collecting groundwater with a bailer liquid sampler followed by measurements of parameters indicative of the presence of persulfate. Measurements of electrical conductivity, pH and concentration of persulfate in the wells were performed in loco with a conductivity meter, benchtop pH meter and Klozur® Field Test Kits, respectively, and the concentration of contaminants through laboratory analysis. The results of these measurements showed that the persulfate flux was concentrated at the base of the layer of coarse sand of varying granulation with the presence of boulders, which may be an indication that hydrogeological heterogeneities form preferential paths. This fact should be considered in remediations with persulfate injection, to save resources and better sizing the system.
