Nanoparticle transport in partially saturated porous media: Attachment at fluid interfaces
Like the solid-water interface (SWI), air-water and oil-water interfaces (AWI and OWI) also act as collectors for nano-sized particles in porous media. The attachment of hydrophobic nanoparticles, which is often favorable and irreversible, is of particular interest because the transport and retention of such particles is closely linked to the fate of nanoplastics in unsaturated subsurface environments and the success of nanoremediation practices. Here, we show how a pore-network model (PNM) can be used to upscale the kinetics and extent of irreversible nanoparticle attachment at a single fluid-fluid interface under conditions of advection and dispersion in a sphere packing. By focusing on a trapped (immobile) non-wetting phase, we highlight a fundamental difference between the single-collector contact efficiency of AWI/OWI and SWI. Namely, AWI/OWI collectors, which are largely by-passed by the flowing aqueous phase, are exposed to a hydrodynamic environment dominated by diffusion. This difference has profound implications for the modelling of nanoparticle transport in porous media at the continuum (Darcy) scale. This study reveals the potential of pore network modelling as an essential complement to continuum models for upscaling the behavior of nanocolloids in porous media.
期刊介绍:
Advances in Water Resources provides a forum for the presentation of fundamental scientific advances in the understanding of water resources systems. The scope of Advances in Water Resources includes any combination of theoretical, computational, and experimental approaches used to advance fundamental understanding of surface or subsurface water resources systems or the interaction of these systems with the atmosphere, geosphere, biosphere, and human societies. Manuscripts involving case studies that do not attempt to reach broader conclusions, research on engineering design, applied hydraulics, or water quality and treatment, as well as applications of existing knowledge that do not advance fundamental understanding of hydrological processes, are not appropriate for Advances in Water Resources.
Examples of appropriate topical areas that will be considered include the following:
• Surface and subsurface hydrology
• Hydrometeorology
• Environmental fluid dynamics
• Ecohydrology and ecohydrodynamics
• Multiphase transport phenomena in porous media
• Fluid flow and species transport and reaction processes
