Understanding and predicting colloid transport and retention in water‐saturated porous
media is important for the protection of human and ecological health. Early applications of …

A substantial research effort has been aimed at elucidating the role of various physical,
chemical and biological factors on microbial transport and removal in natural subsurface …

The efficacy of plastic particle removal by municipal water treatment plants is currently
uncertain, and the mechanisms involved in microplastic (MP) coagulation and flocculation …

Microplastics (MPs) are an emerging concern and potential risk to marine and terrestrial
environments. Surface soils are reported to act as a sink. However, MP vertical mobility in …

Environmental applications of nanoparticles (NP) increasingly result in widespread NP
distribution within porous media where they are subject to various concurrent transport …

High water production is a common problem in mature oil reservoirs. Gel-based treatments
have been widely used as blocking agents to control water production in heterogeneous …

Considerable research suggests that colloid deposition in porous media is frequently not
consistent with filtration theory predictions under unfavorable attachment conditions …

The influence of bacterial surface lipopolysaccharides (LPS) on cell transport and adhesion
has been examined by use of three mutants of Escherichia coli K12 with well-characterized …

The transport and retention of nanoplastics (NP, 200 nm nanopolystyrene) functionalized
with surface carboxyl (NPC), sulfonic (NPS), low-density amino (negatively charged, NPA−) …

A series of column experiments was undertaken to explore the influence of colloid input
concentration (2, 1, 0.5, and 0.25 times a reference concentration), colloid size (negatively …
