The rate of transfer of solutes between soil and overlying water column and from one physical or chemical state to another is defined as flux. The dimensions of flux are M T where M is the mass of material transferred by flux, L is the distance or length, and T is the time. The processes associated with flux are advection, diffusion, and dispersion. Diffusive and advective flux between soil and overlying water and elemental uptake by rooted wetland vegetation are the major transport...

Sulfolane (tetrahydrothiophene 1,1-dioxide, C4H8O2S) is a nonionizable, organic compound used in the Sulfinol process to remove hydrogen sulfide from natural gas. It is highly water-soluble (290 g/L) with a log Kow of -0.77 and a low Henry s Law constant (4.85 x 10 atm m mol ). It been identified in wetland vegetation near a sour gas processing facility in Alberta, Canada (Headley et al., 2002).
