摘要：Due to easy operation, low cost and the useful information provided, laboratory columns packed with sediments are widely used for saturated transport studies. These include studies of hydrochemistry, environmental impact, contamination, chemical reaction kinetics, and preservation of water resources. The wide use of experimental miscible tracer displacement does not usually include descriptions of the steps followed in constructing, packing, and calibrating the columns. The fact is that the various tasks involved in column construction, if not carefully planned and executed, may lead to results that are difficult to interpret or are downright meaningless, let alone a waste of time. Based on previous experience, this paper describes the sequential steps in column construction and packing, as well as the type of tests that need to be carried out before using the column.
