Abstract

Dielectric properties of soils are of paramount significant in geo-environmental applications. Despite the well-studied effects of water content on the soil dielectric permittivity, the simultaneous effects of wet contamination and dry density have remained relatively untapped. This paper investigates these effects on three soils (silica sand, kaolinite and bentonite) with distinct specific surface area at 1 GHz. The results of the experimental program were evaluated against the Birchak model. It was found that the relationship between dry density and dielectric properties is directly proportional for soil/oil mixtures. Furthermore, the geometrical parameter in the Birchak model was found to be relatively constant for soil/oil mixtures, presumably due to the non-polar molecular structure of the contaminant under study (i.e., oil). For soil-water mixtures, however, it is suggested that this parameter is a non-constant value and is a function of dry density.
