Partitioning of Ag and CeO nanoparticles versus Ag and Ce ions in soil suspensions and effect of natural organic matter on CeO nanoparticles stability.

This study examined the solid-liquid distribution of 14.8-nm Ag and 6.2-nm CeO nanoparticles in soil suspensions and compared it to that of Ag and Ce ions, to better understand their environmental behaviour and fate.

Use of filtration techniques to study environmental fate of engineered metallic nanoparticles: Factors affecting filter performance.

We examined the filtration of aqueous suspensions of negatively charged (citrate-stabilized) Ag (14.5±1.1nm) and positively charged CeO (7.

Impact of carboxymethyl cellulose coating on iron sulphide nanoparticles stability, transport, and mobilization potential of trace metals present in soils and sediment.

The stability and transport behaviour of carboxymethyl cellulose (CMC) stabilized iron sulphide (FeS) engineered nanoparticles (ENPs) as well as their concurrent scavenging and mobilization of trace metal contaminants from field-contaminated soils and sediment was studied through a series of batch and column experiments. The synthesized CMC-FeS ENPs were shown to have a hydrodynamic diameter of 154.5 ± 5.

Impact of water composition on association of Ag and CeO₂ nanoparticles with aquatic macrophyte Elodea canadensis.

In this study, the potential association of (citrate-stabilized) Ag (14.1 ± 1.0 nm) and CeO2 (6.

Stability of engineered nanomaterials in complex aqueous matrices: Settling behaviour of CeO2 nanoparticles in natural surface waters.

The stability of engineered nanoparticles (ENPs) in complex aqueous matrices is a key determinant of their fate and potential toxicity towards the aquatic environment and human health. Metal oxide nanoparticles, such as CeO2 ENPs, are increasingly being incorporated into a wide range of industrial and commercial applications, which will undoubtedly result in their (unintentional) release into the environment. Hereby, the behaviour and fate of CeO2 ENPs could potentially serve as model for other nanoparticles that possess similar characteristics.
