Neutralixzation of soils by gas purging

[dnsiitb]

Hello!

I am researching on neutralizing soils (of high and low pH) by gas purging. We have performed some lab-scale studies as well as pilot trials to analyze the process and optimize various parameters influencing the treatment.

However this being a multi-phase interaction problem involving different mechanisms (viz. advection/diffusion, thermodynamics, chemistry etc.) the analysis is quite complex as one could appreciate.
 
If anyone is modelling the soil-gas interaction, his/her inputs would greatly help us in analyzing the problem in a much better way.
