Modeling colloid transport in saturated porous media : an assessment of the importance of pH and kinetics in virus transport

Virus sorption and transport were investigated in controlled laboratory column experiments. Bacteriophage PRD1 did not sorb to silica beads at pH 7 but sorbed strongly at pH 5.5. Kinetic nonequilibrium prevailed at pH 5.5. Desorption of phage was detected during 27 pore volumes of desorption under s...
