Isotopic characterization of chlorinated solvents—laboratory and field results

TLDR
In this article, a purge-and-trap unit was used to extract chlorinated solvents for isotope analyses, and the results showed that the purification unit produces both accurate and reproducible results for dissolved chlorinated solvent δ 13 C and δ 37 Cl analyses.

Dissolution of dense chlorinated solvents into groundwater. 2. Source functions for pools of solvent

TL;DR: In this paper, the dissolution rate depends on the molecular diffusion coefficient, the vertical dispersivity α v, the groundwater velocity v, the solubility, and the pool length, and a value for α v for dissolution of trichloroethylene in a sand-filled physical model was found to be ∼ 0.00023 m
