Homoaggregation is aggregation of particles of the same nature (composition, genesis etc.). It is significant particularly in the case of intentional release (nZVI for groundwater remediation, nanopesticides). The algorithms used are essentially of the same form used for heteroaggregation, since homoaggregation can be considered a special case of heteroaggregation.
