Inhibitory effects of titanium dioxide, silver and fullerene nanoparticles on activated sludge from a municipal wastewater treatment plant

Aude Luppi V., Fidalgo de Cortalezzi M.M., Instituto Tecnologico Buenos Aires, AR

The possibility of negative impacts of three nanomaterials on an aerobic heterotrophic microbial community (activated sludge) was investigated through respiratory inhibition tests (OECD 209 protocol). Titanium dioxide (TiO2NP, Evonik P25), silver (AgNP, synthesized in the [...]

Precipitation, Adsorption and Inhibitory Effects of Nano Copper in Wastewater Activated Sludge

Smeraldi J., Rajagopalan G., Cooper W.J., Hosseini T., Rosso D., University of California Irvine, US

Objective of this study is to compare the fate, removal and inhibitory effects of nanocopper (oxide) with ionic copper in activated sludge. Impacts of functionalization (complexation) of nanocopper as well as the mechanism of nanocopper [...]
