| Abstract | Volatile organic chemicals from nonaqueous phase liquids trapped in soil spread quickly both into the atmosphere and the groundwater system, resulting in long-lasting pollution of the environment. The extent and speed of spread is strongly influenced by the heterogeneities present in the soil, which interact with the various mechanisms of transport in a complex manner. A semi-analytical model is presented to investigate the effect of soil-heterogeneities on the spreading of pollutants from a nonaqueous phase liquid trapped in a soil. Based on field evidence, soil heterogeneities are modeled as a self-similar fractal process, and diffusive transport of organic chemicals in such a substrate is studied. Various mechanisms of, and resistance to, transport of these contaminants are considered, and it is illustrated how each of these are altered by the presence of heterogeneities. More specifically, it is shown that, while the transport processes at early time are governed by volatilization and dissolution and are quite unaffected by the heterogeneities, the transport processes at late time are strongly dependent on the heterogeneities of the soil and its sorption characteristics. In addition, how failure to recognize these heterogeneities in the soil may result in unsuccessful design of appropriate remediation techniques is discussed. |

National Digital Library of India (NDLI) is a virtual repository of learning resources which is not just a repository with search/browse facilities but provides a host of services for the learner community. It is sponsored and mentored by Ministry of Education, Government of India, through its National Mission on Education through Information and Communication Technology (NMEICT). Filtered and federated searching is employed to facilitate focused searching so that learners can find the right resource with least effort and in minimum time. NDLI provides user group-specific services such as Examination Preparatory for School and College students and job aspirants. Services for Researchers and general learners are also provided. NDLI is designed to hold content of any language and provides interface support for 10 most widely used Indian languages. It is built to provide support for all academic levels including researchers and life-long learners, all disciplines, all popular forms of access devices and differently-abled learners. It is designed to enable people to learn and prepare from best practices from all over the world and to facilitate researchers to perform inter-linked exploration from multiple sources. It is developed, operated and maintained from Indian Institute of Technology Kharagpur.

NDLI is a conglomeration of freely available or institutionally contributed or donated or publisher managed contents. Almost all these contents are hosted and accessed from respective sources. The responsibility for authenticity, relevance, completeness, accuracy, reliability and suitability of these contents rests with the respective organization and NDLI has no responsibility or liability for these. Every effort is made to keep the NDLI portal up and running smoothly unless there are some unavoidable technical issues.
Ministry of Education, through its National Mission on Education through Information and Communication Technology (NMEICT), has sponsored and funded the National Digital Library of India (NDLI) project.
