phenanthrene resistant fraction controlled by adsorption<br />

and diffusion processes in the organic carbon fraction of<br />

the soil (Pignatello and Xing 1996; Luthy et al. 1997).<br />

The results of this project suggest that application of the<br />

supercritical fluid technology to a broader range of soils<br />

and sediment types (such as those found across the DOE<br />

complex) would be possible through improved system<br />

robustness and parameter modification.<br />

Potential applications of the technology are<br />

• generation of well-characterized artificially aged<br />

soils/sediments for laboratory study of subsurface<br />

process (natural attenuation) involving organic<br />

contaminants<br />

• development of soil and sediment standards for<br />

evaluating characterization methods performance and<br />

establishment of improved remediation release<br />

criteria<br />

• improvements in parameterization of models that<br />

predict fate and effects.<br />
