Adsorption of bacteriophage MS2 to colloids: Kinetics and particle interactions.

Virus adsorption to colloidal particles is an important issue in the water quality community. Namely, if viruses can quickly and strongly associate to colloids, this can potentially lead to significant implications for the management of biohazardous wastes at water reclamation facilities. This research evaluated the adsorption of bacteriophage MS2 to colloidal suspensions of kaolinite (KAO) and fiberglass (FG).
