Abstract Column experiments were conducted to examine the clogging effects of colloids under controlled conditions of solution ionic strength (IS) and porous media roughness. The results showed that colloids in recharge water play an important role in the clogging process of saturated porous media, such that even a small amount of colloid may cause a large reduction in the permeability of the porous medium. Clogging at the pore throat was inferred to be the main reason for the severe permeability reduction of porous media. The characteristics of colloid clogging were clearly influenced by both IS and medium roughness. Recharge water with a higher IS facilitated greater attachment of colloids to the surface of the saturated porous medium, which lead to superficial clogging, while collectors with a rough surface resulted in greater clogging than collectors with a smooth surface.

The transition from rest to steady motion on the sudden application of a potential gradient to the fluid contained in a saturated porous medium is investigated. An approximate analysis gives the result that the time of the effective establishment of the steady motion is proportional to the permeability and inversely proportional to the kinematic viscosity. Two exact solutions (one of them new) for simple cases suggest that the approximate analysis is remarkably accurate. An analogy between this problem and one in heat conduction makes the relevant results in that field immediately applicable here.

Abstract Colloidal humic acid (HA) acts as a vector that can facilitate the transport of contaminants in groundwater. However, investigations of factors that enhance the transport of sulfa antibiotics when there are colloids present remain incomplete to date. In this study, column experiments were performed under different conditions (particle size, pH, ionic strength, cation valence, colloidal concentration) using 0.25 mg/L sulfamerazine (SM) with or without colloids. The results showed that antibiotics were more easily deposited on the surface of porous media with a diameter of 0.22 mm than 0.45 mm. As the pH increased from 6 to 8, adding colloidal HA increased the maximum breakthrough concentration from 0.94 to 1 for SM. Adding colloidal HA at different NaCl concentrations decreased the maximum C/C0 ratio from 0.97 to 0.92. However, adding colloidal HA changed the C/C0 ratio more when the divalent cation (Ca2+) was present. Overall, increasing the colloidal HA concentration clearly caused the effluent sulfamerazine concentration to increase.
