Journal ArticleDOI
Evaluation of data from the literature on the transport and survival of Escherichia coli and thermotolerant coliforms in aquifers under saturated conditions
Jan Willem Foppen,Jack Schijven +1 more
TL;DR: In this review, the major processes known to determine the underground transport of E. coli (attachment, straining and inactivation) are evaluated and sticking efficiencies determined from field experiments were lower than those determined under laboratory conditions.

Significance of straining in colloid deposition: Evidence and implications
TL;DR: In this paper, the authors highlight recent experimental evidence that indicates that straining can play an important role in colloid deposition under unfavorable attachment conditions and may explain many of the reported limitations of filtration theory.
Journal ArticleDOI
Transport and fate of microorganisms in porous media: A theoretical investigation
M. Yavuz Corapcioglu,A. Haridas +1 more
TL;DR: In this paper, the authors studied various transport processes including dispersion, convection, Brownian motion, chemotaxis and tumbling of bacteria, and the differences between bacteria and viruses in their transport mechanisms, decay and growth kinetics have also been investigated.

Transport of Cryptosporidium Oocysts in Porous Media: Role of Straining and Physicochemical Filtration
TL;DR: The results of this study indicate that irregularity of sand grain shape contributes considerably to the straining potential of the porous medium, and both straining and physicochemical filtration are expected to control the removal of C. parvum oocysts in settings typical of riverbank filTration, soil infiltration, and slow sand filtrations.

Film Straining of Colloids in Unsaturated Porous Media: Conceptual Model and Experimental Testing
Jiamin Wan,Tetsu K. Tokunaga +1 more
TL;DR: In this article, a film-straining theory is introduced, which proposes that transport of suspended colloids can be retarded due to physical restrictions imposed by thin water films in partially saturated porous media.
