Colloid Transport and Retention in Fractured Media. Environmental ManagementScience Program Project 55036

摘要

The goal of this project was to identify the chemical and physical factors thatcontrol the transport of colloids in fractured materials, and develop a generalized capability to predict colloid attachment and detachment based on hydraulic factors (head, flow rate), physical processes and structure (fracture aperture, matrix porosity), and chemical properties (surface properties of colloids, solution chemistry, and mineralogy of fracture surfaces).
