Behavior of Ag nanoparticles in soil: Effects of particle surface coating, aging and sewage sludge amendment

Reads0
Chats0
TLDR
It is suggested that Ag MNP coating does not need to be taken into account to understand fate of AgMNPs applied to soil through biosolids amendment, because pre-incubation with sewage sludge negated these effects.

An Overview on the Effect of Soil Physicochemical Properties on the Immobilization of Biogenic Nanoparticles

TL;DR: In this paper, the physicochemical properties of the soil, pH, organic matter content and clay seem to have the most influence on the distribution and immobilization of soil nanoparticles, which can lead to contamination in humans, animals, plants and microorganisms.

Fate and removal of silver nanoparticles during sludge conditioning and their impact on soil health after simulated land application.

TL;DR: In this paper, the fate and removal of AgNPs during chemical conditioning of anaerobically digested sludge and their impact on soil bacteria and health after land application were investigated.

The effects of manufactured nanomaterial transformations on bioavailability, toxicity and transcriptomic responses of caenorhabditis elegans

TL;DR: The toxicity of Agand ZnO-MNPs to C. elegans is reduced and operates through different mechanisms after transformation during the wastewater treatment process, which suggests that some of the effects of pristine ZnNPs are also particle-specific.

Application of Isotopically Labeled Engineered Nanomaterials for Detection and Quantification in Soils via Single-Particle Inductively Coupled Plasma Time-of-Flight Mass Spectrometry.

TL;DR: In this article , the authors determined the isotope enrichment needed for 47Ti-enriched nanomaterials to be detectable in soil and assessed the effects of weathering on those requirements for less soluble TiO2 and more soluble CuO ENMs.

The role of natural organic matter in the silver release from sludge generated from coagulation of wastewater spiked with silver nanoparticles

TL;DR: In this paper, the effects of humic acid (HA), alginate (AA), and bovine serum albumin (BSA) on the release amount, dynamics and speciation of silver from the sludgeC-AgNPs were investigated by a series of leaching experiments.

A study of the nucleation and growth processes in the synthesis of colloidal gold

TL;DR: In this paper, a preliminary survey with the electron microscope of various preparations of colloidal gold, a study was made of the process of nucleation and growth in gold colloids, and it was shown that nucleating agents may be identified with reducing agents which form a mixed polymer with chlorauric ion before the reduction to the nucleus takes place.

Analysis of Macromolecular Polydispersity in Intensity Correlation Spectroscopy: The Method of Cumulants

TL;DR: The first order electric field correlation function of laser light scattered by polydisperse solutions of macromolecules can be written as a sum or distribution of exponentials, with decay rates proportional to the diffusion coefficients of the solute molecules as discussed by the authors.

Modeled Environmental Concentrations of Engineered Nanomaterials (TiO2, ZnO, Ag, CNT, Fullerenes) for Different Regions

TL;DR: The results of this study indicate that risks to aquatic organisms may currently emanate from nano- Ag, nano-TiO(2), and nano-ZnO in sewage treatment effluents for all considered regions and for nano-Ag in surface waters.

Nanoparticle Silver Released into Water from Commercially Available Sock Fabrics

TL;DR: Variable leaching rates among sock types suggests that the sock manufacturing process may control the release of silver, and physical separation and ion selective electrode (ISE) analyses suggest that both colloidal and ionic silver leach from the socks.
