Abstract:Immobilization
of titanium dioxide nanoparticles (TiO<sub>2</sub> NPs) facilitates their removal
and reuse in water treatment applications. Composite materials of
electrostatically-bound TiO<sub>2</sub> NPs and zeolite particles have been
proposed, but limited mechanistic studies are available on their performance in
complex media. This study delineates the relative importance of homo- and
heteroaggregation, water chemistry, and surface fouling by natural organic
matter (NOM) on the pho… Show more
scite is a Brooklyn-based organization that helps researchers better discover and understand research articles through Smart Citations–citations that display the context of the citation and describe whether the article provides supporting or contrasting evidence. scite is used by students and researchers from around the world and is funded in part by the National Science Foundation and the National Institute on Drug Abuse of the National Institutes of Health.
