Book Evaluating the Role of the Secondary Energy Minimum in Colloid Deposition and Release in Saturated Porous Media

Download or read book Evaluating the Role of the Secondary Energy Minimum in Colloid Deposition and Release in Saturated Porous Media written by Qing Ye and published by . This book was released on 2010 with total page 91 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Abstract: Transport and release of carboxylate-modified polystyrene microspheres of two sizes (36nm and 490nm) in saturated quartz sand under steady flow conditions were investigated in this study. The interaction energy profiles and classic DLVO framework were set up based on measurements and characterization of both particles and sand grains to evaluate and explain the colloidal behavior in the porous media. Emphasis was focused on the roles of the secondary energy minimum and effects of solution chemistry. It was found that the deposition of both colloids displayed apparent ionic strength dependence, and generally the higher ionic strength values were, the more deposition occurred. All the breakthrough curves had extended tailing, which was ascribed to the reversible colloid deposition (release from the secondary minimum) under hydrodynamic drag interactions. The 36nm colloids were observed to have retarded initial breakthrough at high ionic strength, similar to the reversible adsorption of solute species. This was interpreted to result from readily reversible deposition in the secondary minimum. The 490nm colloids did not have such delayed breakthrough and instead displayed slight size exclusion effects indicative of straining. The influence of heterogeneities on colloid deposition and release was also considered. For example, surface roughness appeared to be an important mechanism for 36nm colloid deposition at low ionic strength. At high ionic strength, however, the secondary and even primary minima dominate colloid deposition and release. Both straining and the secondary minimum were enhanced at greater ionic strength. The profile of retained colloids measured for the 490nm colloids transitioned from hyper-exponential to non-monotonic styles as the ionic strength increased. This reflects a transition from straining-dominated deposition to deposition involving both straining and the secondary minimum. Plausible release mechanisms were deduced based on experimental observations. The final release step, which involved the transition from the existence of the secondary minimum to no secondary minimum, was the most important step. During this transition, no secondary minimum association sites were available for colloid retention, and the only colloid retention sites left were likely straining sites such as grain-grain contact points. The release behavior indicated that global release was the net of local release and subsequent redeposition. A conceptual model was developed to include the assumptions of non-contacting deposition, critical ionic strength ranges, distributed nature of interaction energies, as well as squeezing-induced local colloid release mechanisms.

Book Particle Deposition and Aggregation

Download or read book Particle Deposition and Aggregation written by M. Elimelech and published by Butterworth-Heinemann. This book was released on 2013-10-22 with total page 458 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Particle Deposition and Aggregation: Measurement, Modelling and Simulation describes how particle deposition and aggregation can be measured, modeled, and simulated in a systematic manner. It brings together the necessary disciplines of colloid and surface chemistry, hydrodynamics, experimental methods, and computational methods to present a unified approach to this problem. The book is divided into four parts. Part I presents the theoretical principles governing deposition and aggregation phenomena, including a discussion of the forces that exist between particles and the hydrodynamic factors that control the movement of the particles and suspending fluid. Part II introduces methods for modeling the processes, first at a simple level (e.g. single particle-surface, single particle-single particle interactions in model flow conditions) and then describes the simulation protocols and computation tools which may be employed to describe more complex (multiple-particle interaction) systems. Part III summarizes the experimental methods of quantifying aggregating and depositing systems and concludes with a comparison of experimental results with those predicted using simple theoretical predictions. Part IV is largely based on illustrative examples to demonstrate the application of simulation and modeling methods to particle filtration, aggregation, and transport processes. This book should be useful to graduates working in process and environmental engineering research or industrial development at a postgraduate level, and to scientists who wish to extend their knowledge into more realistic process conditions in which the fluid hydrodynamics and other complicating factors must be accommodated.

Book Electrokinetic and Colloid Transport Phenomena

Download or read book Electrokinetic and Colloid Transport Phenomena written by Jacob H. Masliyah and published by John Wiley & Sons. This book was released on 2006-05-26 with total page 733 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: A new, definitive perspective of electrokinetic and colloid transport processes Responding to renewed interest in the subject of electrokinetics, Electrokinetic and Colloid Transport Phenomena is a timely overview of the latest research and applications in this field for both the beginner and the professional. An outgrowth of an earlier text (by coauthor Jacob Masliyah), this self-contained reference provides an up-to-date summary of the literature on electrokinetic and colloid transport phenomena as well as direct pedagogical insight into the development of the subject over the past several decades. A distinct departure from standard colloid science monographs, Electrokinetic and Colloid Transport Phenomena presents the most salient features of the theory in a simple and direct manner, allowing the book to serve as a stepping-stone for further learning and study. In addition, the book uniquely discusses numerical simulation of electrokinetic problems and demonstrates the use of commercial finite element software for solving these multiphysics problems. Among the topics covered are: * Mathematical preliminaries * Colloidal systems * Electrostatics and application of electrostatics * Electric double layer * Electroosmosis and streaming potential * Electrophoresis and sedimentation potential * London-Van der Waals forces and the DLVO theory * Coagulation and colloid deposition * Numerical simulation of electrokinetic phenomena * Applications of electrokinetic phenomena Because this thorough reference does not require advanced mathematical knowledge, it enables a graduate or a senior undergraduate student approaching the subject for the first time to easily interpret the theories. On the other hand, the application of relevant mathematical principles and the worked examples are extremely useful to established researchers and professionals involved in a wide range of areas, including electroosmosis, streaming potential, electrophoretic separations, industrial practices involving colloids and complex fluids, environmental remediation, suspensions, and microfluidic systems.

Book Colloid Deposition and Aggregation in the Presence of Charged Collectors

Download or read book Colloid Deposition and Aggregation in the Presence of Charged Collectors written by Behnam Sadri and published by . This book was released on 2015 with total page 89 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Colloidal-collector interactions are of fundamental importance in separation and filtration technologies. Here, the effect of collector grains on the behavior of colloidal particles was studied in two different experimental systems, i.e., column studies with stationary collectors and batch mixing to study hetero aggregation. Polystyrene latex beads, 100 nm diameter, and soda lime glass beads, with two different diameters of 212-300 $\mu$m and 710-1180 $\mu$m, were employed as colloidal particles and collector grains, respectively. Column experiments were performed to understand fate of colloidal particles in the porous medium. There are three major phenomena that control colloidal transport in porous media: Deposition, aggregation, and straining. These three distinct types of particle dynamics in porous media were studied by adjusting physicochemical properties of colloidal suspension. Furthermore, the effect of washing the collector beads was studied. Batch experiments, in which known amount of collector grains are added to colloidal suspension with known concentration, are designed to investigate more collector-colloids interaction role in transport dynamics of colloidal particles. UV-Vis spectroscopy and dynamic light scattering techniques are employed to understand both deposition and aggregation of colloidal particles in the vicinity of collector grains. Results obtained by dynamic light scattering revealed that aggregation is the predominant factor in this colloidal system. The possible sources for this type of behavior are also tackled by undertaking controlled experiments. In the batch experiments, ions leaching from the surface of glass beads, effect of mixing, and glass beads presence are confirmed as the three major reasons behind the aggregation of colloidal particles.

Book Advances in Transport Phenomena in Porous Media

Download or read book Advances in Transport Phenomena in Porous Media written by Jacob Bear and published by Springer Science & Business Media. This book was released on 2012-12-06 with total page 1018 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: This volume contains the lectures presented at the NATO ADVANCED STUDY INSTITUTE that took place at Newark, Delaware, U. S. A. , July 14-23, 1985. The objective of this meeting was to present and discuss selected topics associated with transport phenomena in porous media. By their very nature, porous media and phenomena of transport of extensive quantities that take place in them, are very complex. The solid matrix may be rigid, or deformable (elastically, or following some other constitutive relation), the void space may be occupied by one or more fluid phases. Each fluid phase may be composed of more than one component, with the various components capable of interacting among themselves and/or with the solid matrix. The transport process may be isothermal or non-isothermal, with or without phase changes. Porous medium domains in which extensive quantities, such as mass of a fluid phase, component of a fluid phase, or heat of the porous medium as a whole, are being transported occur in the practice in a variety of disciplines.

Download or read book Environmental Health written by Abdelhadi Makan and published by BoD – Books on Demand. This book was released on 2020-01-08 with total page 128 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: It took a long time for humans to recognize the existence of a direct link between environmental pollution and health deterioration. In the 1990s, scientists demonstrated the existence of this link through epidemiological studies and new technical materials that can measure accumulation effects of small toxic quantities. Consequently, concerns about human health were accentuated, and the notion of environmental health has emerged. This book covers some practices for managing, controlling, and preventing environmental factors that may affect current and future generations' health. Topics relate to either the natural or the built environment and include air and water pollution, rainwater harvesting, climate change effects, marine pollution, and ecological indicators.
