We conducted a comparative dye tracer experiment using a Brilliant Blue (BB) solution and a Titanium(IV) oxide (TiO<jats:sub>2<\/jats:sub>) colloid suspension (average particle size 0.3 \u03bcm), aiming to visualize and quantify colloid pathways in soils. Both dye tracers showed comparable general flow patterns with preferred transport over the deepest part of the soil profile, independent of clay content. The stained area was generally smaller for TiO<jats:sub>2<\/jats:sub> than for BB by a factor of ten, however, and there was no TiO<jats:sub>2<\/jats:sub> to be found at all in the low clay content soil. The travel distance was almost identical for the solution and the suspension (0.7 m) giving evidence that environmentally critical compounds bound to microparticles may be vertically transported over longer distances in soils, even within single rainfall events. The spatial variability of the dye patterns was large on a small scale with a range of 0.35 m for TiO<jats:sub>2<\/jats:sub> in the horizontal plane, which was taken as a general proof for a pronounced preferential transport situation. The study indicates that TiO<jats:sub>2<\/jats:sub> is transported exclusively through singular macropores of biogenetic nature, while BB passes also through the soil matrix of coarse\u2010bedded soils, the secondary pore system or interaggregate pore space. The results emphasize the general suitability of TiO<jats:sub>2<\/jats:sub> for the visualization of colloid transport pathways in soils, opening up new research opportunities for contaminant transport in soils.<\/jats:p><\/jats:sec><jats:sec><jats:title>Core Ideas<\/jats:title><jats:p><jats:list list-type=\"bullet\">\n<jats:list-item><jats:p>Colloidal transport is the most important pathway for strong adsorbing contaminants in soils.<\/jats:p><\/jats:list-item>\n<jats:list-item><jats:p>TiO<jats:sub>2<\/jats:sub> is a suitable tracer to visualize colloid pathways in mineral soils.<\/jats:p><\/jats:list-item>\n<jats:list-item><jats:p>The distribution of colloid dye tracer can be explained as a function of clay and silt content.<\/jats:p><\/jats:list-item>\n<jats:list-item><jats:p>TiO<jats:sub>2<\/jats:sub> is exclusively transported in singular macropores rather than along soil ped interfaces.<\/jats:p><\/jats:list-item>\n<\/jats:list><\/jats:p><\/jats:sec>","DOI":"10.2134\/jeq2016.04.0131","type":"journal-article","created":{"date-parts":[[2016,9,29]],"date-time":"2016-09-29T16:44:43Z","timestamp":1475167483000},"page":"2053-2059","update-policy":"https:\/\/doi.org\/10.1002\/crossmark_policy","source":"Crossref","is-referenced-by-count":15,"title":["Visualization of Colloid Transport Pathways in Mineral Soils Using Titanium(IV) Oxide as a Tracer"],"prefix":"10.1002","volume":"45","author":[{"given":"Stefan","family":"Koch","sequence":"first","affiliation":[{"name":"Agricultural and Environmental Sciences Univ. of Rostock Justus\u2010von\u2010Liebig\u2010Weg 6 18059 Rostock Germany"}],"role":[{"role":"author","vocabulary":"crossref"}]},{"given":"Petra","family":"Kahle","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[{"name":"Agricultural and Environmental Sciences Univ. of Rostock Justus\u2010von\u2010Liebig\u2010Weg 6 18059 Rostock Germany"}],"role":[{"role":"author","vocabulary":"crossref"}]},{"given":"Bernd","family":"Lennartz","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[{"name":"Agricultural and Environmental Sciences Univ. of Rostock Justus\u2010von\u2010Liebig\u2010Weg 6 18059 Rostock Germany"}],"role":[{"role":"author","vocabulary":"crossref"}]}],"member":"311","published-online":{"date-parts":[[2016,11]]},"reference":[{"key":"e_1_2_6_2_1","doi-asserted-by":"publisher","DOI":"10.1111\/j.1365\u20102389.1980.tb02085.x"},{"key":"e_1_2_6_3_1","doi-asserted-by":"publisher","DOI":"10.1016\/j.jconhyd.2009.03.004"},{"key":"e_1_2_6_4_1","doi-asserted-by":"publisher","DOI":"10.1016\/j.geoderma.2014.12.013"},{"key":"e_1_2_6_5_1","first-page":"25","article-title":"Influence of soil cultivation and farm machinery passes on water preferential flow using brilliant blue dye tracer","volume":"11","author":"Chyba J.","year":"2013","journal-title":"Agron.
