Journal ArticleDOI

Applications of biosynthesized metallic nanoparticles - a review.

TL;DR: The key applications reviewed here include biomedical applications, especially antimicrobial applications, but also imaging applications, catalytic applications such as reduction of environmental contaminants, and electrochemical applications including sensing.
Journal ArticleDOI

Distributed sequestration and release of PAHs in weathered sediment: the role of sediment structure and organic carbon properties.

TL;DR: It is demonstrated that PAHs are preferentially sequestered in a separable, low-density fraction at levels not predictable by equilibrium partitioning theory and apparently controls whole-sediment PAH release.
Journal ArticleDOI

Desorption Kinetics for Field-Aged Polycyclic Aromatic Hydrocarbons from Sediments

TL;DR: The results suggest that macro-mesopore diffusion may control mass transport of less-hydrophobic PAHs in estuarine sediments.
Journal ArticleDOI

Synergistic effects of soil microstructure and bacterial EPS on drying rate in emulated soil micromodels

TL;DR: In this paper, a pseudo-2D pore structure was created to represent physical features of a fine sandy loam, and replicates were initially saturated with suspensions of different soil bacteria, and pore-scale air infiltration was directly imaged over time.
Journal ArticleDOI

Intra-aggregate mass transport-limited bioavailability of polycyclic aromatic hydrocarbons to Mycobacterium strain PC01.

TL;DR: A closed-form mathematical model was developed and effectively predicted independent biodegradation kinetics of PAHs field-aged in two estuarine sediments, indicating that intra-aggregate mass transport limitations, and not the intrinsic bacterial PAH utilization capacity, were most important in controlling the rate of biodegrades of sediment-sorbedPAHs.
