Abstract
Within the scope of the further development of geochemical transport models the consideration of the influence of the heterogeneous structures of the geological layers plays an important role. For the verification and parameter estimation of such models it is necessary to measure the heterogeneous transport and sorption processes inside the samples. Tomographic radiotracer methods (positron emission tomography (PET)) enable nondestructive spatially resolved observations of the transport processes in these layers. A special quantitative evaluation system for geoscientific PET studies was developed. Investigations of the water flow distribution in a drill core of a lignite mining dump and of the migration of Cu ions in a horizontal soil column illustrate the potential of this method. Spatial distribution functions of the flow velocity, the specific mass flow and the longitudinal dispersivity were determined on the basis of PET investigations.
