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 …

Permeability reduction and formation damage in porous media caused by fines (defined as
unconfined solid particles present in the pore spaces) migration is one of the major reasons …

Low salinity waterflooding (LSW) has been proved to be a promising technique in improving
oil recovery for both sandstone and carbonate reservoirs. Sandstone and carbonate are two …

This article deals with the resuspension phenomenon whereby particles adhering on a wall
surface can be re-entrained by a flowing fluid. This is an area where significant progress has …

Particulate fouling generally arises from the continuous deposition of colloidal particles on
initially clean surfaces, a process which can even lead to a complete blockage of the fluid …

Fundamental mechanisms of energy storage, corrosion, sensing, and multiple biological
functionalities are directly coupled to electrical processes and ionic dynamics at solid–liquid …

The surface charge of calcite in aqueous environments is essential to many industrial and
environmental applications. Electrokinetic measurements are usually used to assess the …

Most solid surfaces, in particular clay minerals and rock surfaces, acquire a surface charge
upon exposure to an aqueous environment due to adsorption and/or desorption of ionic …

Surface roughness has been reported to both increase as well as decrease colloid retention.
In order to better understand the boundaries within which roughness operates, attachment of …
