Abstract
A mathematical model presented in this paper describes the dispersion and con-centration of contaminants (fine and coarse) in porous medium with the effect of chemical reaction. Solute transport in porous media is discussed by means of advection-dispersion equation. The effect of particle mass parameter and reaction rate parameter on the disper-sion coefficient and mean concentration of a chemical solute is studied by introducing a slug of finite length. Analytical solutions are obtained by varying the dimensionless time, axial distance and length of the solute. The results are depicted using graphs.
