“…To detect the dominant effect of CeO 2 and TiO 2 ENPs on heteroaggregation, the experiments were conducted by mixing CeO 2 and TiO 2 ENPs stock solution with different mass ratios (0.1/9.9, 1/9, 5/5, 9/1, 9.9/0.1), for a total concentration of 10 mg/L (Our preliminary study showed [26,52,58] that 10 mg/L ENPs could more clearly indicate the aggregation behavior even if it may be unable to represent low environment concentration of ENPs like ng/L or μg/L). 5 mmol/L NaCl was used to provide IS.…”

“…Particularly, NOM can adsorb onto the surface of TiO 2 and CeO 2 ENPs, form a coating layer, result in steric hinderance and electrostatic repulsion and have effect on the heteroaggregation of ENPs [8,26,51]. Luo et al [52] showed that the properties of humic acid (HA) and fulvic acid (FA) influence the adsorption and aggregation of TiO 2 ENPs (10 mg/L), indicating that NOM can adsorb onto the surface of TiO 2 ENPs. However, total organic carbon (TOC) measurements may not adequately characterize the aggregation behavior between ENPs at low NOM concentration [53].…”
A B S T R A C TCeO 2 and TiO 2 engineered nanoparticles (ENPs) are being increasingly used in many applications. Due to their properties, heteroaggregation between these two types of ENPs is very likely, which can determine their fate and transport. However, the heteroaggregation behavior of CeO 2 and TiO 2 ENPs is still not clear, partly due to the lack of appropriate tools. In this study, we investigated the application of Turbiscan Stability Index (TSI) for the measurements of CeO 2 /TiO 2 ENP heteroaggregation. TSI was found to be effective to investigate the heteroaggregation and stability of the CeO 2 -TiO 2 ENPs system. Increasing CeO 2 /TiO 2 ENPs ratio reduces the TSI values, indicating higher stability. Fluorescence excitation-emission matrix (EEM) spectra were used to study the interface interaction between humic acid (HA) and CeO 2 /TiO 2 ENPs. The TSI value of ENPs were rising with the increasing of CeO 2 /TiO 2 ENPs ratios in the H River or Q Reservoir water. In addition, their variation trends were http://dx

“…The humic acid (HA) was purchased from Sigma-Aldrich, and the basic features have been characterized in others' work [20]. In addition, our previous work has presented the features of this HA [10]. The stock solution of HA was prepared by adding 0.16 g HA into 100 mL deionized water.…”
Section: Collection and Preparation Of Natural Soil Coagulantmentioning
Natural soil coagulants were used for domestic drinking water treatment in Ethiopia because of lacking drinking water supply. In this study, two soils were collected from Ethiopia and jar test was used to investigate the optimum working conditions, performance and safety of them. The turbidity removal efficiencies of soil A and soil B are 74.5% and 91.1% (initial turbidity=400 NTU), respectively. The pH of purified water can meet drinking water standards of Ethiopia (pH=6.5-8.5). Both soils contribute to remove TOC when the initial concentration of it is high. A small amount (0.5 mg. L-1 or 1 mg. L-1) of poly-aluminum chloride can improve the performance of soil coagulants for the removal of turbidity. The application of soil coagulants didn't introduce coliforms, although the total bacteria number of treated water increased to 40 CFU (soil A) and 81 CFU (soil B), still meeting the drinking water quality standards (<=100 CFU).
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.
