Description
Colloids are expected to be immobile in the Opalinus Clay matrix due to its fine pore structure (filtration). Colloids may, however, be transported through any water conducting features in the Opalinus Clay. The distance the colloids are transported depends on their stability and on a range of chemical and physical processes that may lead to filtration.
