Colloids Studies

Colloids studies englobe an integrated package of field, laboratory and modelling studies in the area of colloid and surface science.

We offer

a collection of samples in the field for characterisation and analysis
laboratory studies of colloid formation and of sorption onto colloids
application of computer models to predict long-term effects
desk study consultancy, review and assessment

We were the lead contractor and coordinator of the recently completed EC CARESS project

M.P. Gardiner, P. Grindrod, V. Moulin, The role of colloids in the transport of radionuclides from a radioactive waste repository: implications on safety assessment, EC Report EUR19781EN, 2001.

Close Recent Work

With these studies customers gain a better understanding of the potential for contaminant transport via the colloidal pathway. An integrated approach optimises the information obtained.
