Abstract
The coupled reactive transport code (“OGS#IPhreeqc”) is applied to a pyrite-driven denitrification of nitrate-contaminated groundwater scenario. This nitrate reactive transport model is a simplification of the model involving both autotrophic and heterotrophic denitrification processes based on results from a field study in the Hessian Ried, Germany Kludt et al., (2016). For the interested reader, more detail information can be found in Jang et al., (2017).
