At present, there is an urgent need in medicine and industry to develop new approaches to
eliminate bacterial biofilms. Considering the low efficiency of classical approaches to biofilm …

Sludge is produced during wastewater treatment as a residue containing most insoluble and
adsorbed soluble impurities in wastewaters. This paper summarized the currently available …

Silver ions in wastewater streams are a major pollutant and a threat to human health. Given
the increasing demand and relative scarcity of silver, these streams could be a lucrative …

The increasing use and discharge of nanoparticles (NPs) pose risks to microorganisms that
maintain the health of aquatic ecosystems. Although NPs are toxic to microorganisms, they …

Consideration of lichen organisms as the ecofriendly source of metal nanoparticles (MNPs)
and metal oxide NPs (MONPs) synthesis is seldom. In this study, Ag and Cu MNPs as well …

Biofilm is a spatially organized community formed by the accumulation of both
microorganisms and their secretions, leading to persistent and chronic infections because of …

The increasing application of engineered nanoparticles (NPs) has posed an emerging
challenge to wastewater treatment processes. The short-term impacts of CuNPs, CuONPs …

Selective capture and direct recovery of silver ions from highly acidic wastewater are
desirable but challenging for sustainable remediation of contamination. In this work …

The growing production and application of CuO nanoparticles increase the chance that
these particles will be released into wastewater treatment plants (WWTPs) and interact with …

Abstract Titanium dioxide nanoparticles (TiO 2 NPs) easily combine with other pollutants
such as heavy metals because of their excellent physiochemical properties. However, how …
