4) Assume groundwater is contaminated with Methyl Ethyl Ketone (MEK). Estimate the velocity of the contaminant plume. The pollutant and soil properties are given below Soil and aquifer characteristics Pollutant characteristics Soil porosity = 0.4 MEK's Log Kow = 0.256 Dry bulk density = 1.25 g/mL KH = 1.81 x 103 Wet bulk density = 1.35 g/mL Molecular Weight = 72.1 Hydraulic gradient =0.06 Fraction of organic content is 2% Specific gravity of soil =2.5
