Deposition and remobilization of graphene oxide within saturated sand packs

► Graphene oxide displays high mobility within saturated sand packs. ► The immobilization of graphene oxide by quartz sands is reversible. ► The transport behavior of graphene oxide within saturated sand packs can be described by a Langmuir-type mathematical model. ► The extended DLVO theory can explain the observed trends in the mobility of graphene oxide within saturated quartz sands.
