A modeling framework is presented to determine fundamental parameters and controlling
mechanisms of colloid (microbes, clays, and nanoparticles) retention and release on …

Developments in hazard identification of engineered nanoparticles (ENP) have not been
met with proper fate descriptors to calculate travel distances and the bioavailable …

We present continuum models to describe colloid release in the subsurface during transient
physicochemical conditions. Our modeling approach relates the amount of colloid release to …

Large-scale fate and transport models have used different approaches to account for
engineered nanoparticle (ENP) heteroaggregation and its effects on fate. Praetorius et al …

Soil and aquifer materials have a finite capacity for colloid retention. Blocking of the limited
number of available retention sites further decreases the rate of retention with time and …

The increasing application of silver (Ag)‐engineered nanoparticles (ENP) will enhance their
release to the aquatic and terrestrial environments. Hence, the retention potential of the …

Nanoscale surface roughness and charge heterogeneity have been widely recognized to
influence particle retention in porous media under unfavourable chemical conditions such …

Colloid filtration theory (CFT) is a conceptual construct for predicting the characteristic rate of
colloid‐surface collisions during transport in granular porous media. A central product of this …
