Application of an empirical transport model to simulate retention of nanocrystalline titanium dioxide in sand columns حسب Choy, Christine Chin

"…Most of the nanoparticles remained in the sand columns, with an increasing then decreasing retained solids pattern. Application of a one-dimensional advection–dispersion flow model, that included two empirical kinetic terms to account for particle retention in the porous media, produced data fits that followed the general trend of the data, but did not truly capture the concentration maxima in the data sets. …"
