▎ 摘  要

A transport study was performed in saturated porous media through a packed bed column to simulate fate of graphene oxide nanoparticles (GONPs) in the subsurface environment. Transport experiments, along with mass balances and column dissections, were conducted as a function of ionic strength (IS, 10(-3)-10(-1) M). Additionally, an extensive evaluation of the electrokinetic properties and hydrodynamic diameters of GONPs were determined as a function of IS and pH. The measured hydrodynamic diameter and the electrophoretic mobility (EPM) of GONPs indicated an insensitivity to pH, although IS did play a role. Results from a stability study indicated that the hydrodynamic diameter of GONPs was stable and unchanging at the lower range of IS (10(-3) and 10(-2) M) then became unstable when IS >= 10(-1.5) M KCl was achieved. Specifically, for IS >= 10(-1.5) M KCI, the hydrodynamic diameter became greater and showed a larger size range of particles than at the lower IS range (10(-3) and 10(-2) M). In addition, the EPM of GONPs became less negative over the IS range of 10(-3) and 10(-2) M KCl. Furthermore, GONPs were found to be increasingly mobile for IS
