Filtration solutions for variable inputs

TL;DR: In this paper, a combined theoretical and experimental study of deposition of colloidal particles in packed beds is presented, and it is shown experimentally that the rate of deposition declines rapidly with surface coverage even when the surface forces are favorable for deposition and that this decline is largely due to an excluded-area effect introduced by the surface-borne particles.

TL;DR: The migration and capture of particles, such as colloidal materials and microorganisms, through porous media occur in fields as diverse as water and wastewater treatment, well drilling, and in various liquid-solid separation processes.

TL;DR: In this article, a mathematical relationship between bed capacity and specific deposit was established on the basis of saturated flow in soil equations, some filtration models and experimental results, and it was concluded that a proper description of filter behaviour should take into account detachment mechanisms which oppose removal.
