Effects of nanometer alumina and humic acid on the retention and transport of hexavalent chromium in porous media

Column experiments were conducted to investigate the effects of ion type, ion strength, humic acid (HA), and nanometer alumina (NA) particles on the transport of hexavalent chromium (HC) in saturated porous media. A one-dimensional model is developed to simulate the migration of HC affected by NA pa...

Effects of nanometer alumina and humic acid on the retention and transport of hexavalent chromium in porous media
