Abstract

The percolation-degradation process of soluble domestic pollution is very important for the evolution of soil properties and the formation of contaminated sites. The main objective of this study is to investigate the influence of glucose seepage-degradation on the permeability of clay through an indoor percolation test in combination with thermogravimetric measurement with glucose as a representative domestic contaminant soluble sugar. We can conclude that the permeability of clay was significantly impacted by the seepage-degradation of soluble sugar. With a focus on the role of soluble sugars in domestic source pollutants on clay, the formation and evolution of the domestic source contaminated soil site went through three main stages: “generation of domestic source contaminated liquid & formation of S–C zone”, “contraction of S–C zone & formation of E-C zone and C zone”, and “disappearance of S–C zone & contraction of E-C zone and C zone”. The clay permeability decreased, the migration range shrinked, and the pollution level of the clay near the source of the contaminants increased with increasing soluble sugar solution concentration.
