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

Illness as the result of ingesting bacterially contaminated foodstuffs represents a significant
annual loss of human quality of life and economic impact globally. Significant research …

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

Excessive input of phosphate fertilizer into agricultural soils has caused critical
environmental concerns due to high phosphorus (P) accumulation in farmland and P …

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 …

This article deals with the resuspension phenomenon whereby particles adhering on a wall
surface can be re-entrained by a flowing fluid. This is an area where significant progress has …

The release and retention of in-situ colloids in aquifers play an important role in the
sustainable operation of managed aquifer recharge (MAR) schemes. The processes of …

Until some two decades ago, it was believed that only the soil liquid and gaseous phases
were mobile and could facilitate the transport of chemicals and nutrients through the vadose …

This paper examines the critical role of surface roughness (both nano-and micro-scale) on
the processes of colloid retention and release in porous media under steady-state and …
