Recent field and laboratory experiments have identified colloid-facilitated transport of
contaminants as an important mechanism of contaminant migration through groundwater …

Publisher Summary It is noted that colloidal particles can be effectively transported through
subsurface porous media under certain hydrogeochemical conditions. If present in large …

The transport of colloids in geochemically heterogeneous porous media is investigated. A
model describing the transport and deposition of colloids onto heterogeneously charged …

Our ability to accurately simulate the transport and retention of colloids in the vadose zone is
currently limited by our lack of basic understanding of colloid retention processes that occur …

An improved theoretical model is presented for quantifying the dynamics of colloid
depositionin granular porous media. The model characterizes thetransient aspects of …

Environmental applications of nanoparticles (NP) increasingly result in widespread NP
distribution within porous media where they are subject to various concurrent transport …

Mobile colloids in groundwater aquifers and soils can serve as carriers for strongly sorbing
contaminants and thereby facilitate contaminant transport. Therefore mobile colloids may …

The role of solution chemistry, nanoparticle concentration and hydrodynamic effects in the
transport and deposition of TiO 2 nanoparticles through porous media has been …

Investigations on factors that affect the fate and transport of nanoparticles (NPs) remain
incomplete to date. In the present study, we conducted column experiments using 8 and 52 …

Deposition of nanomaterials onto surfaces is a key process governing their transport, fate,
and reactivity in aquatic systems. We evaluated the transport and deposition behavior of …
