Genuine Hysteresis

Genuine (true) and apparent hysteresis may be considered to explain contaminant release from the subsurface solid phase. Genuine hysteresis assumes that observed data are real and the equilibrium results can be explained on the basis of well-identified phenomena. Apparent hysteresis results from an experimental artifact due, for example, to a failure to reach retention or release equilibrium. [Pg.120]

Genuine hysteresis is considered when contaminant release results only from desorption. Experimental data can be interpreted in terms of genuine desorption only when the system is at equilibrium and released molecules are those adsorbed onto the solid phase surface. Molecules brought back into the solution as result of dissolution, diffusion out of the solid matrix, or biotic/abiotic transformation cannot be considered desorbed molecules. In the subsurface, it is almost impossible to distinguish between desorbed molecules and molecules that were not subjected to adsorption and desorption. [Pg.120]

Several other explanations have been put advanced to explain retention hysteresis, including (1) surface precipitation of metallic cations whose hydroxides, phosphates, or carbonates are sparingly soluble (2) chemical reactions with solid surfaces, including organic surfaces, which form complexes with metallic cations and (3) incorporation into the subsurface organic matter through chemical reactions and biochemical transformation. For the case described by Fig. 5.9 or explanations (1) and (2), the contaminant release always exhibits a hysteresis [Pg.121]


After several cycles of the compression and expansion, the dynamic jc-A curve becomes a single closed loop, somewhat distorted from a genuine ellipsoid. In order to analyze the forms of the hysteresis loop under stationary conditions, we have measured the time trace of the dynamic surface pressure after five cycles of the compression and expansion, and then Fourier-transformed it to the frequency domain. The Fourier-transformation was adapted to evaluate the nonlinear viscoelasticity in a quantitative manner. The detailed theoretical consideration for the use of the Fourier transformation to evaluate the nonlinearity, are contained in the published articles [8,43]. [Pg.245]
