abstract = {Water-saturated column experiments were conducted to
investigate the effect of input concentration (Co) and sand
grain size on the transport and retention of low
concentrations (1, 0.01, and 0.005 mg L−1) of
functionalized 14C-labeled multi-walled carbon nanotubes
(MWCNT) under repulsive electrostatic conditions that were
unfavorable for attachment. The breakthrough curves (BTCs)
for MWCNT typically did not reach a plateau, but had an
asymmetric shape that slowly increased during breakthrough.
The retention profiles (RPs) were not exponential with
distance, but rather exhibited a hyper-exponential shape
with greater retention near the column inlet. The collected
BTCs and RPs were simulated using a numerical model that
accounted for both time- and depth-dependent blocking
functions on the retention coefficient. For a given Co, the
depth-dependent retention coefficient and the maximum solid
phase concentration of MWCNT were both found to increase
with decreasing grain size. These trends reflect greater
MWCNT retention rates and a greater number of retention
locations in the finer textured sand. The fraction of the
injected MWCNT mass that was recovered in the effluent
increased and the RPs became less hyper-exponential in shape
with higher Co due to enhanced blocking/filling of retention
locations. This concentration dependency of MWCNT transport
increased with smaller grain size because of the effect of
pore structure and MWCNT shape on MWCNT retention. In
particular, MWCNT have a high aspect ratio and we
hypothesize that solid phase MWCNT may create a porous
network with enhanced ability to retain particles in smaller
grain sized sand, especially at higher Co. Results
demonstrate that model simulations of MWCNT transport and
fate need to accurately account for observed behavior of
both BTCs and RPs.},
