Colloid Population Heterogeneity Drives Hyperexponential Deviation from Classic Filtration Theory
ثبت نشده
چکیده
The deposition behaviors of carboxylate-modified polystyrene latex microspheres (six sizes ranging from 0.1 to 2.0 μm) in packed porous media (soda-lime glass beads) were examined under a variety of environmentally relevant pore fluid velocities (4-8 m-day-1) in the presence of an energy barrier to deposition. Hyperexponential profiles of retained colloids were observed for all microsphere sizes (0.1-2.0 μm) at two fluid velocities (4 and 8 m-day-1). Experiments with columns in series demonstrated for three distinct sizes of microspheres that colloid population heterogeneity drove hyperexponential deviation from filtration theory. A significant portion of retained colloids was released upon introduction of low ionic strength solution, indicating that the majority of colloids were retained via secondary energy minima. However, there was no preferential re-entrainment of secondary minimumassociated colloids near the column inlet, indicating that the hyperexponential deviation from classic filtration theory was not due to deposition in the secondary energy minimum.

متن کاملSpatial variation in deposition rate coefficients of an adhesion-deficient bacterial strain in quartz sand.
The transport of bacterial strain DA001 was examined in packed quartz sand under a variety of environmentally relevant ionic strength and flow conditions. Under all conditions, the retained bacterial concentrations decreased with distance from the column inlet at a rate that was faster than loglinear, indicating that the deposition rate coefficient decreased with increasing transport distance. ...
متن کاملCoupling of physical and chemical mechanisms of colloid straining in saturated porous media.
Filtration theory does not include the potential influence of pore structure on colloid removal by straining. Conversely, previous research on straining has not considered the possible influence of chemical interactions. Experimental and theoretical studies were therefore undertaken to explore the coupling of physical and chemical mechanisms of colloid straining under unfavorable attachment con...
متن کاملDeviation from the classical colloid filtration theory in the presence of repulsive DLVO interactions.
A growing body of experimental evidence suggests that the deposition behavior of microbial particles (e.g., bacteria and viruses) is inconsistent with the classical colloid filtration theory (CFT). Well-controlled laboratory-scale column deposition experiments were conducted with uniform model particles and collectors to obtain insight into the mechanisms that give rise to the diverging deposit...

The mechanisms and causes of deviation from the classical colloid filtration theory (CFT) in the presence of repulsive Derjaguin-Landau-Verwey-Overbeek (DLVO) interactions were investigated. The deposition behavior of uniform polystyrene latex colloids in columns packed with spherical soda-lime glass beads was systematically examined over a broad range of physicochemical conditions, whereby bot...
