Table 1.

Mass Balance Results from Column Experiments Are Also Shown, Where ME, MD, MR, and MT, Represent the Relative Mass Percent of the Mass of the MoS2 in the Effluent, Deposited Mass Recovered from Column Dissections, Remobilized Mass After DI Injection, and the Total Mass Collected

MoS2 Ionic Strength (mM) ME (%)a MD (%)b MR (%)c MT (%)d
MoS2-PL 1 96.7±1.0 19.2 18.8 115.8

Transport experiments were conducted using a MoS2 concentration of 10 mg/L and a flow rate of 2 mL/min.

a

ME:% of mass of MoS2 in effluent of mass injected.

b

MD:% of mass of MoS2 deposited in the column and collected from the column dissection.

c

MR:% of MoS2 remobilized after dispersed in (DI) injection of average retained mass from triplicate experiments.

d

MT:% of total mass (ME+MD) of MoS2 in effluent (ME) plus mass collected from column dissections (MD).
