Developing a downstream purification process for replication-competent enveloped virus particles presents a significant challenge. This is largely due to the highly complex particle structures, as well as complexities of emerging purification modalities for such virus particles. In this study, an unexpected fluid-dynamic effect was observed during the elution of enveloped virus particles from an ion exchange chromatography monolith. This effect led to peak tailing and the separation of virus particle subpopulations. Upon considering possible causes, convective entrapment was identified as a plausible explanation. To investigate this effect, a mechanistic modeling approach representing the electrostatic resin interactions and the convective entrapment effect was implemented. The introduced Langmuir approximation of the convective entrapment showed good alignment with reference data from experiments. The model reproduced the retention effect, and furthermore suggested two virus particle populations due to the stronger retention effect on the tailing subpopulation caused by convective entrapment.

In porous water filters, the transport and entrapment of contaminants can be modeled as a classic mass transport problem, which employs the conventional convection-dispersion equation to predict the transport of species existing in trace amounts. Using the volume-averaging method (VAM), the upscaling has revealed two possible macroscopic equations for predicting contaminant concentrations in the filters. The first equation is the classical convection-dispersion equation, which incorporates a total dispersion tensor.

Microplastics (MPs) are an anthropogenic emerging pollutant, with global contamination of both marine and freshwater systems extensively documented. The interplay of MP particle properties and environmental conditions needs to be understood in order to assess the environmental fate and evaluate mitigation measures. In cold climate, ice formation has appeared to significantly affect the distribution of MPs, but so far, limited research is available comparing different aquatic systems, especially freshwater.

Lotus-type porous metals, characterized by low densities, large surface areas, and directional properties, are contemporarily utilized as lightweight, catalytic, and energy-damping materials; heat sinks; etc. In this study, the effects of dimensionless working parameters on the morphology of lotus-type pores in metals during unidirectional solidification were extensively investigated via general algebraic expressions. The independent dimensionless parameters include metallurgical, transport, and geometrical parameters such as Sieverts' law constant, a partition coefficient, the solidification rate, a mass transfer coefficient, the imposed mole fraction of a solute gas, the total pressure at the top free surface, hydrostatic pressure, a solute transport parameter, inter-pore spacing, and initial contact angle.

Sufficient conditions to control solute transport across the cap responsible for the formation, development, and final shape of the lotus-type pores for different spatial variations of the partition coefficient, and the ratio between concentration in solid at the solidification front and concentration at a reference state near the top free surface during unidirectional solidification are presented in this study. Lotus-type porous material contemporarily used in micro-or nano-technologies strongly depend on distributions, orientations, and shapes of pores in solid. The model accounts for solute pressure in the pore affected by solute transport and balance of gas, capillary and hydrostatic pressures, and Sieverts' law or Henry's law at the bubble cap and top free surface.
