Effect of humic acid on the transport of vanadium oxides nanoparticles in water saturated packed columns.

Abundant vanadium oxides nanoparticles (VOx NPs) release to environment during their production and application. However, little is known on their environmental behaviors, especially under the influence of ubiquitous organic matter (OM). This study investigated the transport of VO, VO, and VO NPs in saturated aquifer in the presence of humic acid (HA), the main dissolved OM in aqueous environment.

Migration of vanadium oxide nanoparticles in saturated porous media.

Vanadium oxides nanoparticles (VO-NPs) as emerging functional materials are widely applied in high-technology industries. However, their environmental behaviors remain largely known. In this study, the migration of three common VO-NPs (VO VO, and VO) in saturated porous media has been investigated.
