TL;DR: Findings indicate that modifications to clean-bed filtration theory and consideration of surface heterogeneity are necessary to accurately predict nC60 transport behavior in saturated porous media.

TL;DR: Experimental and mathematical modeling studies were performed to investigate the transport and retention of nanoscale fullerene aggregates (nC60) in water-saturated porous media, and observed differences in nC60 transport and retain behavior in glass beads and Ottawa sand were consistent with independent batch retention data and theoretical calculations of electrostatic interactions between nC 60 and the solid surfaces.

TL;DR: Findings demonstrate that nC 60 transport and retention in water-saturated sand is strongly dependent on electrolyte conditions and that release of deposited nC60 requires substantial changes in surface charge, consistent with retention in a primary energy minimum.

TL;DR: In this article, a series of one-dimensional column experiments was conducted to assess the transport and retention of nanoscale fullerene aggregates (nC60) in water-saturated soils.

TL;DR: Rod-shaped particles were found to be less sensitive to the surface charge heterogeneity change than spherical particles and increased attachment rate of rod- shaped particles was attributed to surface heterogeneity and possibly enhanced hydrophobicity during the stretching process.
