The use of nano-enabled materials in industry and consumer products is increasing rapidly and with it, the more imperative it becomes to understand the consequences of such materials entering the environment during production, use or disposal. The novel properties of engineered nanomaterials (ENMs) that make them desirable for commercial applications also present the possibility of impacting aquatic and terrestrial environments in ways that may differ from materials in bulk format. Modeling techniques are needed to proactively predict the environmental fate and transport of nanomaterials.

In this study, we present a method for determining the relative affinity of nanoparticles (NPs) for an ensemble of other particles in a complex, heterogeneous suspension. We evaluated this method for NPs heteroaggregating with suspended solids present in activated sludge.

Engineered nanomaterials (ENMs) are used to enhance the properties of many manufactured products and technologies. Increased use of ENMs will inevitably lead to their release into the environment. An important route of exposure is through the waste stream, where ENMs will enter wastewater treatment plants (WWTPs), undergo transformations, and be discharged with treated effluent or biosolids.

Scientific conference on Metal, Nanoparticles and Organisms (MNO) on April 1st, 2016 at the Technopôle méditerranéen de l'Arbois, Aix-en- Provence.

This day will be organized in two sessions of a half-day :

Session 1 – Metals and nanoparticles : molecular Interactions

Labex SERENADE has participated to the 23th Science Festival on Thursday 9th october 2014 at the Technopôle de l'Arbois, in France.

Vous lancez un projet mettant en jeu des nanoparticules ou vous en utilisez déjà ? Le Pôle TRIMATEC, le cluster SAFE, NOVACHIM et le LABEX SERENADE s'associent pour vous appuyer dans votre démarche.

You can find here, the program of the first seminar on nanoscience at INRA to be held on September 30 in Paris (INRA, 147 rue de l'université).
