Colloidal Transport in Porous Media
Colloids are known to be the often neglected phase for the transport of pollutants in aquatic ecosystems. The book covers the basics of abiotic colloid characterization, of biocolloids and biofilms, the resulting transport phenomena and their engineering

Preface Starting from the dimension of one or two meters which is typical for the size of human beings, we can easily discover the million fold up and down scales. However, three more digits in either direction are already a challenge for our perception, and we need sophisticated instrumental tools and analogy concepts to obtain an image of the material present. Therefore these domains have remained more unclear in many aspects of the properties and fate of the matter concerned. Particles in the smaller dimension more exactly of the size from 1 nanometer to 1 micrometer - are normally called colloids and have recently gained a renaissance of attention of physicists, chemists, material scientists and engineers. A broad application of tailored nano particles in the daily life has been the result. Also geogenic nano and micro particles and their important role in the transport and distribution of living and non-living matter in nature have gained awareness of the scientists. In contrast to the chemo-biological importance of these micro particles stands the limited knowledge about their structure, function and fate
