This paper presents a simple mathematical model describing the bioventing technology for soil remediation. Bacteria biodegrade the pollutant and oxygen is injected in the soil to favorite the biodegradation process. The model is referred to the unsaturated zone and several simplifying hypothesis are used. In particular it is supposed that pure oxygen is injected in the subsoil and it is the unique gas present in the subsoil. From fluid dynamics theory in porous media a system of partial differential equations is obtained.

Abstract
This paper presents a simple mathematical model describing the bioventing technology for soil remediation. Bacteria biodegrade the pollutant and oxygen is injected in the soil to favorite the biodegradation process. The model is referred to the unsaturated zone and several simplifying hypothesis are used. In particular it is supposed that pure oxygen is injected in the subsoil and it is the unique gas present in the subsoil. From fluid dynamics theory in porous media a system of partial differential equations is obtained.File in questo prodotto:
