Journal ArticleDOI
Applications of nanotechnology in water and wastewater treatment
TL;DR: Recent development in nanotechnology for water and wastewater treatment is reviewed, covering candidate nanomaterials, properties and mechanisms that enable the applications, advantages and limitations as compared to existing processes, and barriers and research needs for commercialization.
Journal ArticleDOI
Nanotechnology for a safe and sustainable water supply: enabling integrated water treatment and reuse.
TL;DR: The modular, multifunctional and high-efficiency processes enabled by nanotechnology provide a promising route both to retrofit aging infrastructure and to develop high performance, low maintenance decentralized treatment systems including point-of-use devices.
Journal ArticleDOI
Chemical and structural properties of dissolved black carbon released from biochars
TL;DR: In this article, the chemical and structural properties of bulk, colloidal, and dissolved BC were thoroughly examined using elemental analysis and a variety of spectroscopic techniques, and it was concluded that dissolved BC consists primarily of small aromatic clusters substituted by carboxylic groups, and by phenolic groups to a less extent.
Journal ArticleDOI
Photochemistry of Dissolved Black Carbon Released from Biochar: Reactive Oxygen Species Generation and Phototransformation.

TL;DR: Dissolved black carbon released from biochar decreased its ability to further generate ROS due to lower light absorption, which has significant implications on the environmental fate of dissolved BC and that of priority pollutants.
Journal ArticleDOI
Extracellular Saccharide-Mediated Reduction of Au3+ to Gold Nanoparticles: New Insights for Heavy Metals Biomineralization on Microbial Surfaces.
TL;DR: Gold ion (Au3+) was used as a model heavy metal ion to quantitatively assess the role of EPS in biomineralization and discern the responsible functional groups, indicating a previously overlooked, universally significant contribution of EPS to the reduction, mineralization, and potential detoxification of metal species with high oxidation state.
