CO 2 capture, utilization, and storage technology are one of the most effective methods to
reduce CO 2. Although this technology has been relatively mature, the main problems …

In this work, a set of experimental electrophoretic mobility (μe) data was used to show how
inappropriate selection of the electrokinetic model used to calculate the zeta potential (ζ …

Understanding the mechanisms that control the hydraulic and semipermeable membrane
behavior of enhanced bentonites (EBs), which comprise natural montmorillonite amended …

Zeta potential is a physicochemical parameter of particular importance in describing the
surface electrical properties of charged porous media. However, the zeta potential of calcite …

The diffusive flux of cations is enhanced and that of anions is decreased compared to that of
water tracers in bentonite or other clays, as a result of electrostatic interactions between ions …

Liquid water in frozen porous media provides the path for moisture and solute migration,
which is one of the essential problems to study thaw‐weakening and frost‐heave in freezing …

Montmorillonite layer edge surfaces have pH-dependent properties, which arises from the
acid–base reactivity of their surface functional groups. Edge surface acidity (with intrinsic …

The drilling industry is motivated to develop high performance clay swelling inhibitors with
good biodegradability and low toxicity. In this study, the non-ionic surfactant glycyrrhizin was …

The continuous imbalance between nitrogen (N) and phosphorus (P) deposition is expected
to shift many ecosystems from N‐to P limitation. Extraradical hyphae of ectomycorrhizal …

Hypothesis Natural or engineered colloidal particles are often non-spherical in shape. In
contrast to the widely-used “homogeneous sphere” assumption, the non-spherical particle …
