Journal ArticleDOI
Coupling of physical and chemical mechanisms of colloid straining in saturated porous media.
TL;DR: Observations suggest that the extent of colloid removal by straining is strongly coupled to solution chemistry.
Journal ArticleDOI
Colloid Transport and Retention in Unsaturated Porous Media: A Review of Interface-, Collector-, and Pore-Scale Processes and Models
TL;DR: A review of colloid transport and retention at the interface, collector, and pore scales can be found in this article, where the potential for colloid attachment in the presence of hydrodynamic forces and torques is determined from a balance of applied and adhesive torques.
Journal ArticleDOI
Resolving the coupled effects of hydrodynamics and DLVO forces on colloid attachment in porous media.
TL;DR: Simulations demonstrated that quantitative evaluation of colloid transport through porous media will require nontraditional approaches that account for hydrodynamic and DLVO forces as well as collector shape and size.
Journal ArticleDOI
Transport and fate of bacteria in porous media: Coupled effects of chemical conditions and pore space geometry
TL;DR: Computer simulations of flow around several collector grains revealed the retention mechanism, which is dependent on both the solution chemistry and the pore space geometry, and demonstrates that the pORE space geometry creates hydrodynamically disconnected regions.
Journal ArticleDOI
Colloid transport in unsaturated porous media: The role of water content and ionic strength on particle straining
TL;DR: Experimental and modeling results suggest that straining--the retention of colloids in low velocity regions of porous media such as grain junctions--was the primary mechanism of colloid retention under both saturated and unsaturated conditions.
