This contribution critically reviews the state of knowledge on interactions of natural colloids
and engineered nanoparticles with natural dissolved organic materials (DOM). These …

Recent field and laboratory experiments have identified colloid-facilitated transport of
contaminants as an important mechanism of contaminant migration through groundwater …

This book presents an introduction to the chemistry of the solid-water interface. Stressing
surface chemical principles that can be applied in the geochemistry of natural waters, soils …

Charge regulation in the electrical double layer has important implications for ion
adsorption, interparticle forces, colloidal stability, and deposition phenomena. Although …

The role of chemical and physical interactions in natural organic matter (NOM) fouling of
nanofiltration membranes is systematically investigated. Results of fouling experiments with …

A streaming potential analyzer has been used to investigate the effect of solution chemistry
on the surface charge of four commercial reverse osmosis and nanofiltration membranes …

The performance (ie, water flux and solute rejection) of a thin-film composite aromatic
polyamide nanofiltration membrane and its relation to membrane surface charge …

Natural organic matter (NOM) is a complex mixture of different organic components (or
fractions), yet few studies have examined the fractional adsorption of NOM on mineral …

The use of a novel streaming potential analyzer to measure the zeta potential of cellulose
acetate and composite polyamide reverse osmosis membranes is reported. Zeta potentials …

Publisher Summary It is noted that colloidal particles can be effectively transported through
subsurface porous media under certain hydrogeochemical conditions. If present in large …
