  16. What Happened During Adsorption? Naphthalene adsorption aggregation Clusters Aggregation & Naph. Entrapment Small Fullerene Aggregates Naphthalene Adsorption

  17. What Happened During Desorption? “Loosely” Adsorbed Naphthalene “Entrapped” Naphthalene desorption

  18. Possible Explanations • Two parts of adsorption/desorption: q1: adsorption onto surfaces q2: entrapment in clusters • q1 account for  11% adsorption; • q2 account for  89% adsorption • Possibility of adsorption/desorption hysteresis • Adsorption/desorption hysteresis needs further study

  28. Summary • States of aggregation of nanoparticles may change in various aqueous environment • Adsorption of contaminants to the surfaces of nanoparticles is very strong • Adsorption/desorption of organic compounds to nanoparticles might be hysteretic • Adsorption/desorption of heavy metals onto/from nanoparticles are predictable based on surface area normalized sorption isotherm • Nanomaterials in natural aqueous environments may affect the fate and transport of contaminants substantially

  29. Future • Responsible Use • Remediation
