| Zusammenfassung |
| The transport and fate of viruses in subsurface formations are mainly governed by virus
attachment onto the solid matrix and inactivation. Furthermore, virus attachment onto
clay colloids is primarily controlled by electrostatic interactions between surfaces.
Consequently, bacteriophage MS2 and ΦX174 were used as surrogates for human viruses in
order to investigate the interaction between viruses and clay particles. The selected
phyllosilicate clays were kaolinite and bentonite. Numerous reactor vessels were filled
with 0.5 g of clay and 50 mL of sterile phosphate buffered saline solution (1.2 mM
sodium chloride, 0.027 mM potassium chloride, and 0.1 mM phosphate buffer salts)
and adjusted to a pH of 7. A series of static and dynamic experiments for various
bacteriophage concentrations were conducted at two different temperatures. Half of
the reactor vessels were placed in a refrigerator at 4 |
