Summary

Analytical models for virus adsorption and inactivation in batch systems of homogeneous, isothermal, unsaturatedporous media were developed. The models account for virus sorption onto liquid–solid as well as air–liquid interfacesand inactivation of viruses in the liquid phase and at both interfaces. Mathematical expressions appropriate for virussorption onto liquid–solid and air–liquid interfaces were developed as functions of the soil moisture variation. Themodels were solved analytically by Laplace transform procedures. The effects of soil moisture variation on virussorption at the liquid–solid as well as air–liquid interfaces were investigated. Available experimental data from virusadsorption-inactivation batch studies were successfully simulated by one of the models developed in this work.
