Deposition of solid particles on a collector: Formulation of a new theory

01 Nov 1977-Aiche Journal (John Wiley & Sons, Ltd)-Vol. 23, Iss: 6, pp 879-889
TL;DR: In this paper, the shadow effect due to deposited particles and the singular and random behavior of approaching particles are discussed and a new theory of particle deposition is proposed and procedures for the simulation of deposition process outlined.
Abstract: Two concepts concerning the deposition of particles from suspension onto a collector, the shadow effect due to deposited particles and the singular and random behavior of approaching particles, are presented and discussed. Based on these concepts, a new theory of particle deposition is proposed and procedures for the simulation of deposition process outlined. The simulation results give the rate of deposition and the deposit morphology. Potential applications of this model to a number of technical problems are outlined.

TL;DR: In this paper, the authors present theories describing colloid mobilization, deposition, and transport, laboratory experiments in model systems designed to test these theories, and applications of these theories to colloid-facilitated transport experiments in natural groundwater systems.

TL;DR: In this paper, a model for the dynamics of colloid deposition in porous media is developed by combining macroscopic and microscopic theories of particle deposition, considering the non-uniform coverage of collector surfaces by retained particles during the deposition process.

TL;DR: In this paper, the discrete element method (DEM) is used for three-dimensional simulations of micro-particle deposition and aggregation on an individual fiber of an array, and a dimensionless adhesion parameter is defined and shown to have a dominant effect on the predicted particle deposition rate.
