Abstract

The growing development of nanotechnology has promoted the wide application of engineered nanomaterials, raising immense concern over the toxicological impacts of nanoparticles on the ecological environment during their transport processes. Nanoparticles in aquatic systems may undergo deposition onto environmental surfaces, which affects the corresponding interactions of engineered nanoparticles (ENPs) with other contaminants and their environmental fate to a certain extent. In this review, the most common ENPs, i.e., carbonaceous, metallic, and nonmetallic nanoparticles, and their potential ecotoxicological impacts on the environment are summarized. Colloidal interactions, including Derjaguin-Landau-Verwey-Overbeek (DLVO) and non-DLVO forces, involved in governing the depositional behavior of these nanoparticles in aquatic systems are outlined in this work. Moreover, laboratory approaches for examining the deposition of ENPs on collector surfaces, such as the packed-bed column and quartz crystal microbalance (QCM) method, and the limitations of their applications are outlined. In addition, the deposition kinetics of nanoparticles on different types of surfaces are critically discussed as well, with emphasis on other influencing factors, including particle-specific properties, particle aggregation, ionic strength, pH, and natural organic matter. Finally, the future outlook and challenges of estimating the environmental transport of ENPs are presented. This review will be helpful for better understanding the effects and transport fate of ENPs in aquatic systems.
