Abstract excerpt
The release of silver (Ag) nanoparticles (NPs) into sewage streams has heightened concerns about potential adverse impacts on wastewater treatment processes. Here, we show that the rate constants of both biological nitrification and organic oxidation decreased exponentially with an increase in the Ag NP concentration, but nitrification was more severely inhibited than the organic oxidation even at low Ag NP...
