Abstract

Mathematical models of coupled migration of colloids and solute in fractured, porous medium are presented, for two types of colloid-solute interaction. When the colloid-solute interaction is by dissolution, solute that normally has greater retardation than colloids is accelerated by colloid dissolutions. For sorption interaction, the apparent migration speed of pseudocolloids can be greater or less than the solute migration speed without interaction, depending on the choice of parameters.
