Table 4. Agglomeration and dissolution behaviour of nCuO in ADaM with 0.1% TSPP over 48 h. After 48 h of incubation, strong agglomeration and sedimentation of nCuO particles occurred, making the determination of zeta potential impossible.
t (h) | XDLS (nm) | Zeta potential (mV) | Dissolved Cu (mg l−1) |
---|---|---|---|
0 | 132 | −64.3 | 3.5 |
6 | 132 | −41.3 | 4.63 |
24 | 146 | −38.3 | 5.41 |
48 | 230 | Not measurable | 6.1 |
