Reverse osmosis (RO) membranes are widely employed due to their inherent advantage of
achieving excellent water permeation rates and high salt rejection. However, fouling is a …

Enhanced oil recovery (EOR) processes aim to recover trapped oil left in reservoirs after
primary and secondary recovery methods. New materials and additives are needed to make …

Microplastics (MPs) are an emerging concern and potential risk to marine and terrestrial
environments. Surface soils are reported to act as a sink. However, MP vertical mobility in …

Terrestrial soils are not only a large reservoir for Microplastics (MPs), but also a possible
entrance to the subsurface environment, posing potential risks to the subterranean habitats …

Interactions within natural soils have often been neglected when assessing fate and
bioavailability of engineered nanomaterials (ENM) in soils. This review combines patchwise …

Recently, researchers have proved the application of nanoparticles (NPs) for enhanced oil
recovery (EOR) in ambient temperature. However, to our knowledge no attempt has been …

Wastewater treatment plants have been identified as important hubs for small particulate
plastic, down to the nanometer scale, from urban areas to the environment. The reuse of …

Particle detachment from the rock during suspension transport in porous media was widely
observed in laboratory corefloods and for flows in natural reservoirs. A new mathematical …

An understanding of the transport and survival of microbial pathogens (pathogens hereafter)
in agricultural settings is needed to assess the risk of pathogen contamination to water and …

Permeability reduction and formation damage in porous media caused by fines (defined as
unconfined solid particles present in the pore spaces) migration is one of the major reasons …
