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 …

Nanoplastics (NPs) pose great challenges to soil-groundwater systems. This study
investigated the transport and retention of self-synthesized 0.5-μm polystyrene NPs with …

In recent years, DNA-tagged silica colloids have been used as an environmental tracer. A
major advantage of this technique is that the DNA-coding provides an unlimited number of …

Particulate contaminants, such as microplastics (1 μm to 5 mm) and nanoplastics (< 1 μm),
are disseminated in many terrestrial environments. However, it is still unclear how particles' …

Vanadium oxides nanoparticles (VO x-NPs) as emerging functional materials are widely
applied in high-technology industries. However, their environmental behaviors remain …

Hypotheses: The transport behavior of colloids in subsurface porous media is altered by
surface chemical and physical heterogeneities. Understanding the mechanisms involved …

Abstract Models for the co-transport of two different colloids commonly assume a one-way
coupling. This is because often a large colloid and small colloid are involved. Therefore …

In the terrestrial environment, interactions between natural organic matter (NOM) and
colloids can lead to the formation of an environmental corona around colloids, influencing …

Colloidal deposition on fibers is central to industrial applications including fibrous filters and
textiles. We propose a self-consistent Eulerian model to bridge the gap between long-range …

Colloid transport in fractured rock formations is an important process impacting the fate of
pollutants in the subsurface. Despite intensive and outstanding research on their transport …
