Transport of in Situ Mobilized Colloidal Particles in Packed Soil Columns
Abstract
A systematic investigation of the transport behavior of in situ mobilized soil colloidal particles in their parent soil matrix medium is presented. Particle advection, dispersion, and deposition kinetics were studied by analysis of particle breakthrough curves as a response to short-pulse particle injections to the inlet of packed soil columns. The transport of the heterogeneous soil particles was compared to the transport of monodisperse carboxyl latex particles to further understand the various particle transport mechanisms. Results show that colloidal particles travel much faster than a conservative tracer (nitrate) due to size exclusion effects, whereby mobile colloidal particles are excluded from small pores within the soil medium. Dispersivity of the natural and latex particles was compared to that of the conservative tracer, and the results indicate that particle dispersivity is greater than the tracer dispersivity. Dispersivity of colloidal particles was shown to be essentially independent of pore water velocity, whereas tracer dispersivity increased with increasing pore water velocity due to a combination of convective and diffusive transport of tracer molecules in small pores within the soil aggregates. The effect of divalent counterions on particle deposition kinetics was also investigated by comparing the results to deposition kinetics with monovalent counterions. Particle deposition rate with Ca 2+ was shown to be higher than with Na +, and the critical deposition concentrations with Na + were greater than those with Ca 2+ . In contrast to the marked effect of ionic strength and divalent cations, changes in proton activity over more than 1 order of magnitude (from pH 4.0 to 5.5) did not have a significant effect on particle deposition kinetics. Quantitative analysis of the observed particle transport results demonstrates that the transport of the natural colloidal particles in the packed soil columns can be adequately described by the advection-dispersion equation with a first-order, irreversible deposition kinetics term.

About these checks
Registry, retraction, Cites and statistics results are computed, not judged, with one exception: a printed reference that no index lists is read once by a model before it counts as a citation error. Claims are extracted by a model and kept only when their quote appears verbatim in the text; each cited source is then checked, with a model’s help, for whether it says what the claim relies on. Those verdicts can be wrong — read the claim’s quote and the cited source before relying on one.
Statistics and arithmetic are recomputed, not judged.
Confidence bands are shown only for fields calibrated on our annotated test set. None is calibrated yet, so no band is shown.
