abstract = {The spectral induced polarization signature of porous media
contaminated with non-aqueous phase liquid (NAPL) was
studied. Using an accurate measurement system, the complex
electrical conductivity of unsaturated porous media
contaminated with either diesel fuel or motor oil at a
constant water saturation was determined. Counter
intuitively, the results show that replacing air with NAPL
increases the real part of the complex conductivity of
unsaturated porous media. We interpret the results in terms
of electrochemical polarization, and suggest that polar
compounds contained in the NAPL adsorb to the mineral
surface leading to release of inorganic ions to the pore
water, which affects both the fluid and surface
conductivity. In addition, we observed a decrease in the
polarization followed by further addition of NAPL, which we
relate to a lower mobility of the adsorbed polar compound.
This study allows a better understanding of the electrical
signature of NAPL contaminated porous media, especially in
variably saturated conditions.},
