Journal ArticleDOI
Effect of soil properties on saturated and unsaturated virus transport through columns.
TL;DR: It is found that soils with high metal oxides content may have the potential to be used as hydrological barriers in preventing microbial contamination in the subsurface environments and the water content effect on virus removal and inactivation strongly depended on solid properties of the testing medium.

Biomass plug development and propagation in porous media.

TL;DR: The dominant mechanism associated with all three phases of plugging in porous media was exopolymer production; yield stress is an additional mechanism in the plug-propagation phase.
Journal ArticleDOI
Role of grain-to-grain contacts on profiles of retained colloids in porous media in the presence of an energy barrier to deposition.
TL;DR: It is demonstrated that in the presence of an energy barrier to deposition, grain-to-grain contacts strongly influence colloid deposition and the spatial distribution of retained colloids in porous media, and it is proposed that the nonmonotonic profiles resulted from translation of surface-associated microspheres and subsequent immobilization at grain- to- grain contacts.
Journal ArticleDOI
Bacteria Transport and Deposition under Unsaturated Flow Conditions: The Role of Water Content and Bacteria Surface Hydrophobicity
TL;DR: Investigation of the transport and deposition behavior of representative hydrophobic and hydrophilic bacteria strains in sand at different water saturations found that the amount of bacteria that were retained in the sand increased with decreasing water saturation, especially for the morehydrophobic strain that formed larger cell aggregates.

Continuum-based models and concepts for the transport of nanoparticles in saturated porous media: A state-of-the-science review.
TL;DR: The use of simplifying assumptions, such as the equilibrium assumption, in modeling the attachment/detachment mechanisms within a continuum modelling framework are investigated and it is found that its use as a description of dynamic deposition behavior in a continuum model yields broadly similar results to those arising from a kinetic model.
