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.
