摘要
The effects of hydraulic conductivity and injection velocity on microbial transport through porous media were investigated. Glass chromatography columns were packed separately with clean quartz sand of two diameters (0.368 mm or 0.240 mm) and two hydraulic conductivities (1.37 X 10(-1) cm/s and 3.65 X 10(-2) cm/s respectively). Three injection velocities, 1.18 X 10(-3) 2.35 X 10(-3) and 4.73 X 10(-3) cm/s were investigated. Microbial transport under the conditions tested was limited and could be predicted mathematically using a model for physicochemical filtration.
