Abstract: | This research was conducted to (i) demonstrate delayed gelation of colloidal silica suspensions with the presence of nutrients; (ii) prove that gelation takes place in sediment and the gel slowly releases nutrients; and (iii) show that silica suspensions are injectable for vadose zone emplacement. Results demonstrated that nutrient‐laden colloidal silica suspensions have low initial viscosity and then increase in viscosity with time until reaching gelation, allowing for a slow release of nutrients into the environment. Higher salt and silica concentrations increased the rate of viscosity climbing and the rate of gelation, whereas higher silica concentrations resulted in stronger gels. Nutrients were slowly released from gels in both batch and column experimental settings. The rheological and injection behavior of the silica suspensions revealed the injectability of these fluids. This study demonstrated that colloidal silica suspension could be used as a carrier to distribute nutrients to the vadose zone and to establish slow‐release nutrient sources. |
