Response to Comment on 'Correlation Equation for Predicting Single-Collector Efficiency in Physicochemical Filtration in Saturated Porous Media'

摘要

We thank Rajagopalan and Tien (1) for their interest in our paper describing the development of a new closed-form equation for the single-collector contact efficiency (eta_0) in physicochemical filtration (2).Here,we address the specific points raised and re-iterate the main contribution of our correlation equation.We believe that the points raised result from several misinterpretations and misunderstandings of our work.
