Transformation of PVP coated silver nanoparticles in a simulated wastewater treatment process and the effect on microbial communities

• Background: Manufactured silver nanoparticles (AgNPs) are one of the most commonly used Results: Sequencing batch reactor experiments and anaerobic batch tests, both demonstrated that The low toxicity is most likely due to AgNP sulfidation. XAS analysis showed that sulfur bonded Ag was Conclusions: Silver NPs were transformed to Ag-S phases during activated sludge treatment (prior to
