An overview of factors influencing the colloid/particle favoured relocation of contaminants

    Publications: Contribution to journalArticlePeer Reviewed

    Abstract

    Contaminants partition between the solid and the aqueous phase. Those sorbed to the solid phase are regarded as retarded or immobile. The solid phase-the matrix of the soil or aquifer-can be mobile itself as suspended or colloidal particles. In the unsaturated zone, with fast changing gradients in hydrochemistry and water content, suspended particles can play a major role in contaminant relocation.
