Silver nanoparticle-protein interactions in intact rainbow trout gill cells

Kristin Schirmer, Laura Sigg, Renata Behra, Yang Yue

Upon contact with biota, nanoparticles can bind to proteins, which coat the nanoparticles and form a nanoparticle-protein corona. Knowledge of corona proteins is therefore important for a mechanistic understanding of how nanoparticles interact with biomole ...

Nanoparticles have various physicochemical properties attributed by their small dimensions. The global production of nanoparticles lead to a raised concern for their environmental impacts. Algae are of highly ecological importance functioning as primary pr ...

Interaction of Silver Nanoparticles (AgNP) with Rainbow Trout Gill Cell Lines

Yang Yue

Owing to their unique antimicrobial properties, silver nanoparticles (AgNP) are among the most widely used engineered nanoparticles in a variety of consumer products and medical applications. Their resulting release into the aquatic environment raises conc ...

Modelling the effect of fluctuating herbicide concentrations on algae growth

Sylvain Coutu, Pierre-Jean Copin

Herbicide concentrations fluctuate widely in watercourses after crop applications and rain events. The level of concentrations in pulses can exceed the water chronic quality criteria. In the present study, we proposed modelling the effects of successive pu ...

Continuous Polyol Synthesis of Metal and Metal Oxide Nanoparticles Using a Segmented Flow Tubular Reactor (SFTR)

Paul Bowen, Andrea Testino, Christoph Stähli, Jose Enrico Quijano Quinsaat, Frank Pilger

Over the last years a new type of tubular plug flow reactor, the segmented flow tubular reactor (SFTR), has proven its versatility and robustness through the water-based synthesis of precipitates as varied as CaCO3, BaTiO3, Mn((1-x))Ni(x)C(2)O(4)2H(2)O, YB ...

Release and environmental impact of silver nanoparticles and conventional organic biocides from coated wooden facades

Andrea Ulrich

This study represents for the first time a comprehensive assessment of functionality and environmental impacts of metallic silver nanoparticles (Ag-NP) compared to conventional organic biocides. Four different transparent, hydrophobic coatings of wooden ou ...

Continuous catalytic hydrothermal gasification of algal biomass and case study on toxicity of aluminum as a step toward effluents recycling

Christian Ludwig, Frédéric Vogel, Mariluz Bagnoud, Martin Brandenberger

A novel process named SunCHem has been proposed to produce methane via catalytic hydrothermal gasification of microalgae [1-3]. The process is innovative because it is designed as a closed-cycle system with respect to water, nutrients and some of the CO2, ...
