Nanoscale iron offers distinct advantages over conventional iron for in-situ applications in groundwater because they can be delivered to the subsurface without the need for excavation. This removes limitations due to depth, site structures and facility operations. A nanoscale colloid is small enough to flow through the pore space and associated pore throats of many granular geologic matrixes. The issues governing potential transport are not so much direct filtration, but the effects of gravity and the attractive forces at work on the mineral and colloid surfaces; this also includes agglomeration of the colloids in the injection solution. 2, record 6, English, - nanoscale%20colloid

Two commonly noted phenomena are the reorganization of exsolution bodies and the destruction of colloform textures.... A general decrease in the incidence of colloform textures with an increasing grade of metamorphism has been reported from pyritic deposits in the Urals, Japanese sulphide deposits and Canadian Precambrian volcanic masive sulphide deposits. Both these adjustments generally improve the ores from the point of view of the mineral processor. Exsolution bodies do not pass with their host grains into the wrong concentrate and the replacement of colloform textures by granular intergrowths leads to better mineral separation during grinding. 1, record 27, English, - colloform%20texture
