Regulation of airflow within the aquifer during air sparging can also be accomplished by augmenting viscosity of groundwater (Cho et al., 2022; Choi et al., 2018; Kim et al., 2016). Hydraulic conductivity of the aquifer is inversely proportional to the viscosity of the groundwater, thereby potentially impeding air intrusion into the saturated ...

Because the air moves upward into the vadose zone, air sparging can only be used in unconfined aquifers, rather than confined aquifers. Air sparging is most effective in soils with intrinsic permeability larger than 0.1 darcy (10~ 9 cm 2) and COCs with Henry's constant greater than 100 atm and vapor pressures higher than 0.5 mm-Hg (U.S. EPA ...
In situ sparging of gaseous CO 2 was demonstrated through laboratory and pilot-scale testing to be an effective means to neutralize a caustic brine plume (CBP) and to reduce levels of mercury and other heavy metals in groundwater. The CBP exhibits high pH levels ranging from 10.5 to 12, densities as high as 1.06 g / mL, high dissolved silica …

Air sparging is often done in conjunction with a vapour extraction system in the soil, so that gaseous contaminants can be captured and treated. Air sparging also stimulates the biodegradation of organic compounds in the vadose zone and in the saturated zone as a result of the oxygen supply (see the fact sheet: Biosparging). Sources:
