Popis: | Zinc oxide nanoparticles (NPs) present in domestic wastewaters may accumulate in biosolids used as fertilizer. In this paper, metal complexation by typical biosolids is explored using methods from the humics literature. Uptake of Zn from NPs in the biosolids is evaluated. Finally, the kinetics of release of Zn species are reported as a function of (i) pH and (ii) the presence of strong binding ligands (e.g., ion exchange resin promoting release). The investigation revealed that (i) metal binding sites of biosolids are analogs of humic substances, (ii) ZnO NPs do not survive in the digestion environment, and (iii) any ZnO NPs dissolve to aqueous Zn²⁺ in |
