abstract = {The objective of this study was to identify physical and
chemical processes affecting Brilliant Blue (BB) transport
in an unsaturated, macroscopically heterogeneous subsoil. We
performed a BB leaching experiment in a 1-m-long undisturbed
sandy monolith with a 10-cm-thick discontinuous clay layer
0.2 m below the surface. Two-dimensional BB concentration
distributions were derived from image analysis at several
depths in the monolith. Results showed several features of
nonideal transport: (i) a deeper than expected travel depth,
(ii) extensive tailing and a secondary peak in the BB depth
profile, (iii) a lower than expected BB concentration in the
upper part of the soil profile where the invading dye tracer
solution was assumed to have replaced the initial solution,
and (iv) a decrease in the concentration variability between
the surface and the 2-cm depth. These results were in sharp
contrast with inert transport experiments that suggested
homogeneous flow and transport characterized by small
dispersivity lengths. The macrostructure (i.e., the
discontinuous clay layer and the nonuniform irrigation)
determined the BB transport. A simulation with a
one-dimensional transport model using an effective water
content and sorption isotherm that was directly derived from
the cross-sectional area of the clay layer suggested that
the macrostructure alone was not sufficient to explain the
BB distribution. Moreover, a two-site kinetic sorption model
was needed to reproduce the tailing of the BB profile and
the lower than expected concentrations at the soil surface.
Since batch sorption experiments did not reveal rate-limited
sorption, we postulate that the unsaturated flow conditions
led to reduced accessibility of the sorption sites, thus
decreasing the sorption rate.},
