Quantitative, multi-spectral, light-transmission imaging of colloid transport in porous media at the meso scale

Creator:

Kraft, Erika Lorna

Abstract:

Colloids, particles smaller than ten microns in diameter, are ubiquitous in the subsurface. Colloids have an effect on the transport of contaminants that bind to their surfaces, and can reduce the permeability of aquifer materials through deposition. Some microorganisms, including pathogens, are also transported in the subsurface as colloids. The...
