Abstract:
Chem_Transport is a user friendly software package of several models that describe the transport and sorption of chemicals in soils. The models are nonlinear and kinetic and represent recent advances in the understanding of transport characteristics of chemicals in soils and geological media. Chem_Transport models are applicable for variety of chemicals in field settings as well as controlled laboratory and greenhouse environments. The models represent transport conditions and batch type reactors under no-flow conditions where transport is ignored. Chem_Transport models are based on the adjective-dispersive equation for the transport of chemicals in one-dimensional soils and geological media. Types of models: Physical Nonequilibrium Models and Kinetic Sorption Models. The models are applicable for various chemicals including organics and inorganics, e.g., insecticides, herbicides, industrial chemicals, military explosives, trace and heavy metals and radionuclides. The models are a good tool for classroom teaching to undergraduate and graduate students in chemical and civil engineering, hydrology, geology, soil physics and chemistry, environmental sciences and environmental engineering.
