Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: We analyze the interactive migration of radioactive colloids and solute in fractured rock. Two possible interactions between radionuclides as colloids and as solute are considered: solute sorption on nonradioactive colloids to form pseudocolloids, and dissolution of radioactive colloids. Previous studies have discussed the formation and transport of colloids in porous media, including removal of colloids by filtration and sedimentation. Colloids can migrate faster than solute because of weaker sorption on stationary solids and because of hydrochromatography of colloid particles in flow channels. However, the migration of colloids and pseudocolloids can be retarded by the interaction of colloids with solute, and the migration of solute in local equilibrium with colloids can be more rapid than if colloids were not present. Here we present a new quantative analysis to predict the interactive migration of colloids and solute in porous and fractured media. 4 figs.

This book was released on 2005-03-02 with total page 476 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: This book addresses the characterization of flow and transport in porous fractured media from experimental and modeling perspectives. The volume explores porous media problems, from the origin of the present natural porous structures, to their characterization, and various flow and transport phenomena that exist within the porous media. Examples are miscible displacements in porous media and fractured rock and the physical and chemical interactions within porous fractured aquifers. The book is a comprehensive presentation of investigations performed and analysed on different scales, supporting the understanding and application of experimental studies and numerical simulations.

Book excerpt: The purpose of the Saturated Zone Colloid-Facilitated Transport Analysis and Modeling Report (AMR), as outlined in its Work Direction and Planning Document (CRWMS M & O 1999a), is to provide retardation factors for colloids with irreversibly-attached radionuclides, such as plutonium, in the saturated zone (SZ) between their point of entrance from the unsaturated zone (UZ) and downgradient compliance points. Although it is not exclusive to any particular radionuclide release scenario, this AMR especially addresses those scenarios pertaining to evidence from waste degradation experiments, which indicate that plutonium and perhaps other radionuclides may be irreversibly attached to colloids. This report establishes the requirements and elements of the design of a methodology for calculating colloid transport in the saturated zone at Yucca Mountain. In previous Total Systems Performance Assessment (TSPA) analyses, radionuclide-bearing colloids were assumed to be unretarded in their migration. Field experiments in fractured tuff at Yucca Mountain and in porous media at other sites indicate that colloids may, in fact, experience retardation relative to the mean pore-water velocity, suggesting that contaminants associated with colloids should also experience some retardation. Therefore, this analysis incorporates field data where available and a theoretical framework when site-specific data are not available for estimating plausible ranges of retardation factors in both saturated fractured tuff and saturated alluvium. The distribution of retardation factors for tuff and alluvium are developed in a form consistent with the Performance Assessment (PA) analysis framework for simulating radionuclide transport in the saturated zone. To improve on the work performed so far for the saturated-zone flow and transport modeling, concerted effort has been made in quantifying colloid retardation factors in both fractured tuff and alluvium. The fractured tuff analysis used recent data and interpretation from the C-wells reactive tracer testing complex in the saturated zone of Yucca Mountain. As no data regarding colloid transport have been developed by the Yucca Mountain Site Characterization Project (YMP) for the alluvial system, a theoretical analysis based on studies performed in other alluvial systems is developed. The parameters derived in this AMR are developed in a manner consistent with the PA methodology and can be readily integrated into that analysis.

Download or read book Saturated Zone Colloid Transport written by H. S. Viswanathan and published by . This book was released on 2003 with total page 90 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Colloid retardation is influenced by the attachment and detachment of colloids from immobile surfaces. This analysis demonstrates the development of parameters necessary to estimate attachment and detachment of colloids and, hence, retardation in both fractured tuff and porous alluvium. Field and experimental data specific to fractured tuff are used for the analysis of colloid retardation in fractured tuff. Experimental data specific to colloid transport in alluvial material from Yucca Mountain as well as bacteriophage field studies in alluvial material, which are thought to be good analogs for colloid transport, are used to estimate attachment and detachment of colloids in the alluvial material. There are no alternative scientific approaches or technical methods for calculating these retardation factors.

This book was released on 2009 with total page pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: The research contained in this thesis investigates the transport and deposition behavior of 1.1 and 3ìm carboxylate-modified microspheres in saturated porous media under unfavorable deposition conditions. Colloid motion and deposition patterns are visualized in three dimensions using a high-speed confocal microscope and micromodels packed with glass beads or sand grains. This study specifically focuses on colloid behavior in the grain-to-grain contact region, which has been suggested in previous studies as an important location for colloid retention under unfavorable conditions. The use of the high resolution confocal microscope allowed the distinction of two types of colloidal retention that can occur in the grain-to-grain contact region and showed that single surface retention was much more abundant than retention on two surfaces (straining). This study also demonstrated that both the extent and rate of straining are enhanced by increasing flow rate. In addition to obtaining qualitative descriptions of colloid deposition patterns, this study is the first to provide quantitative analysis of the motion of individual colloidal particles leading to the construction of three-dimensional colloid trajectory in both the bulk phase and grain-to-grain contact regions. The results demonstrated the dominant effects of hydrodynamics on colloid motions, i.e., most colloids entering the grain-to-grain contact region tend to follow the streamlines to detour the contact point, making straining a transport-limited process. Retention in the secondary energy minimum can significantly retard colloid movement but this association was not strong enough to keep the retained colloid inside the energy well over time. Colloid retention and movement through sand-packed sand micromodels were more complex compared to those packed with glass beads due to the more complex hydrodynamic conditions resulting from the irregular packing geometry and surface roughness of sand. These results suggest that theoretical torque analysis based on the idealized scenarios is not a suitable approach for describing colloid transport and deposition under unfavorable conditions in complex natural porous media.
