Ionic-strength effects on colloid transport and interfacial reactions in partially saturated porous media
[1] Contaminant migration through the vadose zone may be influenced by the presence of mineral colloids that are mobilized during infiltration events. In this work, we report model calculations and experimental data on the role of pore water ionic strength in the transport of silica colloids through water-saturated and unsaturated porous media. The transport model solves the advection-dispersio...
متن کاملColloid retention in porous media: mechanistic confirmation of wedging and retention in zones of flow stagnation.
A three-dimensional particle tracking model for colloid transport in porous media was developed that predicts colloid retention in porous media in the presence of an energy barrier via two mechanisms: (1) wedging of colloids within grain to grain contacts; (2) retention of colloids (without attachment) in flow stagnation zones. The model integrates forces experienced by colloids during transpor...
متن کاملTransport of Silica Colloid through Saturated Porous Media under Different Hydrogeochemical and Hydrodynamic Conditions Considering Managed Aquifer Recharge
Colloids may have an important role in regulating the structure and function of groundwater ecosystems, and may influence the migration of low solubility contaminants in groundwater. There is, however, a degree of uncertainty about how colloids behave under the variable hydrogeochemical and hydrodynamic conditions that occur during managed aquifer recharge. We used an online monitoring system t...
متن کاملA novel two-dimensional model for colloid transport in physically and geochemically heterogeneous porous media.
A two-dimensional model for colloid transport in geochemically and physically heterogeneous porous media is presented. The model considers patchwise geochemical heterogeneity, which is suitable to describe the chemical variability of many surficial aquifers with ferric oxyhydroxide-coated porous matrix, as well as spatial variability of hydraulic conductivity, which results in heterogeneous flo...
متن کاملSensitivity analysis and parameter identifiability for colloid transport in geochemically heterogeneous porous media
Effective use of colloid transport models for heterogeneous subsurface porous media requires the development of methodologies to identify the key model parameters. The inverse problem of a two-dimensional model for colloid transport in geochemically heterogeneous porous media is systematically investigated in this paper. Sensitivity analysis prior to the parameter identification provided valuab...
