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

Flocculation (aggregation) of particles is a vital stage in many solid‐liquid separation
operations. The process usually involves some form of chemical destabilization and a step …

A conceptual model for colloid transport is developed that accounts for colloid attachment,
straining, and exclusion. Colloid attachment and detachment is modeled using first-order …

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

The deposition and reentrainment of particles in porous media have been examined
theoretically and experimentally. A Brownian Dynamics/Monte Carlo (MC/BD) model has …

A set of analytical equations are developed for calculating the van der Waals and
electrostatic interaction energies between a rough spherical particle and a smooth plate …

This paper attempts to introduce the work described in this special section on colloid
transport within a more general perspective of the evolution of our understanding of the …

Understanding the mobility of colloids through porous media is important in both engineered
and natural applications. This study employed a model system to explore physically based …

A general theoretical approach for the calculation of colloid deposition rate onto
heterogeneously charged surfaces is presented. Patchwise and random distribution models …

Environmental problems caused by plastic pollution in terrestrial systems have received
increasing attention, especially the issues related to micro‐and nanoplastics. Soils are a …
