“…Conversely, P e > 300 corresponds to the mechanical dispersion regime with the predominance of advection. The intermediate values, 10 < P e < 100, indicate the power-law dispersion regime [53,54]. P e values found in our study for KBr move away from the intermediary conditions for CM1, with P e = 228.586 (Table 6), tending toward purely advective transport.…”

The textile industry generates a large volume of chemically diversified effluents containing, among other compounds, dyes. Untreated wastes are contaminants to surface water, soil, and groundwater. In this aspect, various studies have explored the issue of contamination of alluvial soils in the Alto Capibaribe region, northeast of Brazil, due to local textile activity. This region, inserted into the Brazilian semiarid region, suffers from water scarcity, and there is a need for rural communities to use alluvial formations for water supply. The simulation of solute transport is a fundamental tool for understanding the environmental performance and risks associated with contamination by textile dyes. Transport parameters that directly influence pollutant dynamics in sedimentary environments are characterized. This study evaluated the retention and mobility of the dye Remazol Black 5 (RB5) in two superficial layers of alluvial soil from Alto Capibaribe to obtain transport parameters. In the laboratory, tests of mobility in soil columns with RB5 dye (concentration of the 25 mg L−1) and KBr tracer (concentration of the 35.7 g L−1) solutions were conducted. The CDE and two-region models were used to model the KBr experimental transport data, and the two-site model was used to model the RB5 experimental transport data. Physical non-equilibrium was found in the soils for KBr transport, and the two-region model adequately modeled the experimental breakthrough curves (BTCs). For the transport of RB5, the results showed a chemical non-equilibrium, and the two-site model was adequate to model the experimental BTCs. The results indicate that the surface layer is most responsible for the retention of RB5, where the RB5 solution was less mobile than in the lower layer. Both layers showed low retention and high mobility for RB5, indicating that the RB5 dye in the region may contaminate groundwater.
