Analysis of Probe Transport in Porous Media by Nanoparticle tracking analysis (NTA) (CAT#: STEM-MB-0736-WXH)

Introduction

From the granular and fractured subsurface environment to highly engineered polymer membranes used in pharmaceutical purification, porous materials are ubiquitous in nature and industrial applications. In particular, porous media are used extensively in processes including water treatment, pharmaceutical sterilization, food/beverage processing, and heterogeneous catalysis, where hindered mass transport is either essential to the process or a necessary but undesirable limitation.
