Experimental Study on the Coupled Heat-Moisture-Heavy Metal Pollutant Transfer Process in Soils by Qingke Nie, Wei Wang, Wenkai Guo, Huawei Li

“…The placement direction of the soil column and the set of temperature boundaries affect the moisture distribution of the soil column through the difference in the temperature, gravity, and solid matrix potentials. The temperature-driven liquid water movement effectively promotes the transfer of heavy metal contaminant in unsaturated soils; it is closely correlated with the convection of the heavy metal substances easily dissolved in liquid water. …”
