Electrokinetics is being applied in combination with common insituremediation technologies,
eg permeable reactive barriers, bioremediation and in-situ chemical oxidation, to overcome …

We report new molecular dynamics results elucidating the structure of the electrical double
layer (EDL) on smectite surfaces contacting mixed NaCl–CaCl 2 electrolyte solutions in the …

Electrokinetic phenomena are of great practical importance in fields as diverse as micro-
fluidics, colloid science and oil exploration. However, the quantitative prediction of …

Molecular dynamics (MD) simulations of a montmorillonite/water interface at the pore scale
were carried out at 0.1 molL− 1 NaCl concentration in order to constrain cation, anion, and …

The state and dynamics of water and cations in pure and mixed Na-Cs-montmorillonite as a
function of the interlayer water content were investigated in the present study, using Monte …

To explain why dynamical properties of an aqueous electrolyte near a charged surface
seem to be governed by a surface charge less than the actual one, the canonical Stern …

Electromigration (movement of ions in an applied electric field) is utilized for supply or
extraction of ions from various porous materials within both civil and environmental …

At pH 7, amorphous silica has a characteristic negative charge due to the deprotonation of
silanol groups on the surface. Electrokinetic phenomena and transport of biomolecules in …

We study the exclusion of salt from charged porous media (Donnan effect), by using a
coarse-grained approach. The porous medium is a lamellar system, namely a …

Ion exchange phenomena involve the population of readily exchangeable ions, the subset
of adsorbed solutes that balance the intrinsic surface charge and can be readily replaced by …
