This contribution critically reviews the state of knowledge on interactions of natural colloids
and engineered nanoparticles with natural dissolved organic materials (DOM). These …

Reverse osmosis (RO) membrane process has become the most promising technology for
desalination to produce purified water. Among numerous polymeric materials used to …

The stability of nanoparticles in aquatic environment plays an important role in determining
their environmental implication and potential risk to human health. This research studied the …

Inorganic geochemical analysis of sediment has played a central role in palaeolimnology
since its establishment as a research field. This chapter outlines methods that can be …

Parts 1 and 2 of this series are tutorial feature articles exceptionally published as Critical
Reviews for editorial reasons. They intend to give to the nonspecialist an overview of the …

Engineered inorganic nanoparticles (EINP) from consumers' products and industrial
applications, especially silver and titanium dioxide nanoparticles (NP), are emitted into the …

The formation of Fe (III) oxyhydroxide colloids by oxidation of Fe (II) and their subsequent
aggregation to larger particles were studied in laboratory experiments with natural water …

Excessive input of nutrients of human origin renders Mediterranean coastal lagoons
eutrophic. In this study, the sediments from a coastal lagoon were exposed to different …

Most geochemical proxies and models of atmospheric evolution suggest that the amount of
free O2 in Earth's atmosphere stayed below 10− 5 present atmospheric level (PAL) until the …

Currently, nanofiltration (NF) and reverse osmosis (RO) membranes are the most widely
employed in surface water treatment, but membrane fouling has always been an important …
