Global Water Pollution and Human Health (2010, background): “Under oxic conditions, the most abundant redox sensitive metals— iron and manganese—form finely dispersed oxide particles, which strongly adsorb heavy metals and metalloids (24).”
Occurrence, behavior and effects of nanoparticles in the environment. (2007, background): “The minerals in the size range of approximately a few to several tens of nanometers are in the transitional range where properties are expected to be variable and deviate from bulk behavior (Waychunas et al., 2005).”
Kinetic stability of hematite nanoparticles: the effect of particle sizes (2008, background): “A decrease in size will lead to a larger relative surface energy that would destabilize the system ( Waychunas et al. 2005 ).”
Perspectives for nano-biotechnology enabled protection and nutrition of plants. (2011, background): “Applications of ZVI structures and iron oxide NPs may be for removal of humic material and toxins (Giasuddin et al., 2007; Waychunas et al., 2005).”
Effects of Particle Size and Crystalline Phase on Lead Adsorption to Titanium Dioxide Nanoparticles (2007, positive): “Potential nanoscale size effects on metal adsorption to oxide surfaces include increased surface disorder, surface contraction, quantum confinement, and the need to account for the electrostatic double layer of a curved surface instead of a flat surface (Waychunas et al. , 2005).”
Environmental behavior and ecotoxicity of engineered nanoparticles to algae, plants, and fungi (2008, background): “In particular, there are certain types of ENPs that are made for the purpose of environmental remediation, such as dechlorination of groundwater pollutants and reclamation of land lost to forest fires (Masciangioli and Zhang 2003; Waychunas et al. 2005; Yue and Economy 2005; Zhang 2003).”
Iron in Earth Surface Systems: A Major Player in Chemical and Biological Processes (2011, positive): “Because of their high surface-sorption capacity (Waychunas et al. 2005; Hassellöv and von der Kammer 2008), they play a major role in trace element mobility in aquatic systems; they can also be used to remove trace metals and contaminants from polluted waters, leading to important applications in…”
The ecotoxicology and chemistry of manufactured nanoparticles (2008, methodology): “BET analysis may therefore have some advantages over EM techniques (Table 5), but the SSA measured by BET in a dry sample may not coincide with the apparent surface area in aqueous dispersion, especially for aggregating particles (Waychunas et al. 2005).”
