Sedimentation Process of TiO2 Nanoparticles in Aqueous …

The results indicate that pH and ionic strength greatly affect the TiO 2 sedimentation process. Sedimentation can be formed properly when the solution is at pH 1 and 14, this happens because pH is close to the isoelectric point. Meanwhile, ionic strength with a concentration of 0.1 M gave the most optimal results in TiO 2 sedimentation.

The n-TiO 2 sedimentation behavior was only affected by pH and NOM content at low levels of IS. Moreover, divalent cations can efficiently influence the n-TiO 2 sedimentation behavior compared with monovalent cations at fixed IS. Seven different environmental water samples were also used to investigate the n-TiO 2 sedimentation behavior in ...

Combined toxic effects of TiO

The sedimentation of TiO 2 NPs was accelerated, and the growth inhibition of algae exposed to TiO 2 NPs alone or combined with OCs in natural water was reduced compared with UW (Fig. 1, Fig. 2). It is more difficult to analyze the toxicity of pollutants due to the difference in chemical properties of natural water.

The presence and accumulation of anatase TiO 2 in sediments at km +1.8 were thus confirmed by complementary XRD analysis, further supporting that there is some TiO 2 NM transport downstream even though the majority of TiO 2 sedimentation occurs near the emission source. We also evaluated the potential of epilithic organisms to accumulate Ti …
