520 |a Groundwater colloids can act as a vector which enhances the  
520 |a migration of contaminants. In this study, an idealized  
520 |a laboratory set-up was used to examine the influence of  
520 |a amorphous silica colloids on the transport of cesium.  
520 |a Synthetic groundwater and -saturated glass bead columns were  
520 |a used to minimize the presence of natural colloidal material.  
520 |a The columns were assembled in replicate, some packed with  
520 |a 150-210 um glass beads and others packed with 355-420 Jim  
520 |a glass beads. The colloids used in these experiments were 100  
520 |a nm amorphous silica colloids from Nissan Chemical Company.  
520 |a In independent batch sorption experiments, non-linear  
520 |a Freundlich isotherms were found to best describe the sorption  
520 |a of cesium to both silica colloids and glass beads. In the  
520 |a absence of colloids, the retardation factor for cesium was  
520 |a 8.0 in the 150-210 um glass bead columns and 3.6 in the 355- 
520 |a 420 um glass bead columns. The influence of anthropogenic  
520 |a colloids was tested by injecting 0.09 pore volume slug of an  
520 |a equilibrated suspension of cesium and colloids into the  
520 |a colloid-free columns. Although there was little noticeable  
520 |a facilitation in the smaller glass bead columns, there was a  
520 |a slight reduction in the retardation of cesium in the larger  
520 |a glass bead columns. This was attributed to cesium having  
520 |a less of a retention time in the larger glass bead columns.  
520 |a When cesium was injected into columns with a constant flux of  
520 |a colloids, the retardation of cesium was reduced by 14-32% in  
520 |a the 150-210 um glass bead columns and by 38-51% in the 355- 
520 |a 420 um glass bead columns. Models based on Coi-apcioglu and  
520 |a Jiang [1993] were compared with the experimental elution  
520 |a data. When equilibrium sorption expressions were used and  
520 |a the flux of colloids through the glass bead columns was  
520 |a constant , the colloid facilitated transport of cesium was  
520 |a able to be described using an effective retardation  
520 |a coefficient. Fully kinetic simulations) however, more  
520 |a accurately described the colloid facilitated transport of  
520 |a cesium.
