A significant portion of Prof. Lion's research relates closely to the interests of the AguaClara project. Transport of nanoparticles, bacteria and macromolecules in porous media and the coupled transport of particle-bound contaminants have been evaluated in laboratory experiments and predicted with numerical models. Colloid stability, particle aggregation, and sedimentation are the focus of Prof. Lion's current research which is being performed in collaboration with Dr. Monroe-Weber-Shirk. These investigations are being applied to hydraulic flocculation, use of floc blankets in upflow sedimentation, and filtration as sustainable water treatment process applicable to developing countries.
