In Part 1. of this series, the theory was developed to describe the desalinization process from the adsorption-desorption isotherm, diffusional and hydrodynamic point of view. In the present paper, experimental verification is carried out and the results are discussed in relation to the theory.
The saline soil, subjected to this experiment, was taken from the polder reclaimed land from the sea. The experiment was conducted in a specially designed Soil Electrode Box made of wood, in such a way that the desalinization process was not allowed to be disrupted.
The theory was verified by the following steps.
(1) The Theoretical Diffusion Curve obtained from the theory was compared and contrasted with the Observed Diffusion Curve.
(2) The theoretical amount of the leached salt derived from the theory was checked with the empirical results.
(3) The calculated data of leached salt, obtained from the theory with respect to mean flow velocity were tested with the experimental results.
(4) By the Match-Point Coordinate Method, the soil constants such as α & β were determined from the Diffusion Curves.
