Resumen:
Presence of organic and inorganic contaminants in soils impacts soil and
groundwater quality. The hydraulic conductivity of porous media controls the
displacement of liquids in the soil pores and affects the fate and transport of contaminants
in the environment. This chapter presents the influence of relevant soil and permeating
liquid properties on liquid displacement and mass transport in soils including diffusion,
advection, retardation, reaction, solubilization and immiscible flow. Then, we address the
relevance of micro-heterogeneities on the displacement and generation of ganglia during
the simultaneous flow of water and non-aqueous phase liquids (NAPL). Finally, we
discuss the importance of soil hydraulic conductivity and mass transport mechanisms in
relation to geoenvironmental applications such as permeable reactive barriers (PRB), soil
liners (SL) and smart permeable reactive barriers (SPRB).
