abstract = {The food dye Brilliant Blue FCF (Color Index 42090) is
often used as dye tracer in field studies for visualizing
the flow pathways of water in soils. Batch studies confirmed
findings of other researchers that non-linear sorption is
important for Brilliant Blue, especially at small
concentrations (< 10 g l(-1) for our soil), and that
retardation increases with decreasing concentrations as well
as with increasing ionic strength of solutions. Therefore,
it is not obvious if it can be used as an indicator for
water flow paths as is often done. In this study, we
compared the mobility of Brilliant Blue in a field soil
(gleyic Luvisol) with that of bromide. Brilliant Blue and
potassium bromide were simultaneously applied as a 6-mm
pulse on a small plot in the field, and the tracers were
displaced with 89 mm of tracer-free water using a constant
intensity of 3.9 +/- 0.2 mm hour(-1) . Both tracer
concentrations were determined on 144 soil cores taken from
a 1 m x 1 m vertical soil profile. The transport behaviour
differed in both (i) mean displacement and (ii) spatial
concentration pattern. We found the retardation of Brilliant
Blue could not be neglected and, in contrast to the bromide
pattern, a pulse splitting was observed at the plough pan.
Numerical simulations with a particle tracking code revealed
that the one-dimensional concentration profile of bromide
was represented fairly well by the model, but the prediction
of the double peak in the Brilliant Blue concentration
profile failed. With additional assumptions, there were
indications that Brilliant Blue does not follow the same
flow paths as bromide. However, the question of Brilliant
Blue taking the same flow pathways as bromide cannot be
adequately answered by comparing both concentration
distributions, because we look at two different transport
distances due to the retardation of Brilliant Blue. It
became obvious, however, that Brilliant Blue is not a
suitable compound for tracing the travel time of water
itself.},
