Role of water chemistry on stability, aggregation, and dissolution of uncoated and carbon-coated copper nanoparticles.

ABSTRACT: Intentional or accidental release of copper nanoparticles (Cu-NPs) from consumer products during manufacturing, use, and end-of-life management could pose health and ecological risks. This paper presents a detailed study on the role of water chemistry on the fate of uncoated and carbon-coated Cu-NPs dispersed in aqueous cetyltrimethylammonium bromide (CTAB) surfactant in the presence and absence of humic acids (HAs). A range of water chemistry and HAs had minimum impact on hydrodynamic diameter and zeta-potential values of uncoated and carbon-coated Cu-NPs. The water pH significantly (p < 0.001) affected the aggregation of uncoated Cu-NPs unlike that of carbon-coated Cu-NPs; however, the presence of HAs increased the stability of uncoated Cu-NPs. Although CTAB is considered as an efficient dispersant to stabilize Cu-NPs, the effect descended with time for uncoated Cu-NPs. The dissolution of Cu over time decreased with increasing pH for both uncoated (0.5-50% weight) and carbon-coated (0.5-40% weight) Cu-NPs. However, carbon-coated Cu-NPs exhibited significant dissolution (p < 0.001) at neutral pH than uncoated Cu-NPs may be due to the additional carbon it acquired during coating. Increasing HAs concentration from 0 to 15 mg L-1 at pH 5.5 inhibited aggregations but enhanced dissolution of the uncoated and carbon-coated Cu-NPs. These findings inform risk analysis of Cu-NPs including how Cu-NPs fate, mobility and bioavailability are modulated by particles coating and dispersant, HAs presence, water chemistry and exposure time in dispersion media.

The roles of surface chemistry, dissolution rate, and delivered dose in the cytotoxicity of copper nanoparticles.

Project description:The understanding of nanoparticle (NP) cytotoxicity is challenging because of incomplete information about physicochemical changes particles undergo once they come into contact with biological fluids. It is therefore essential to characterize changes in NP properties to better understand their biological fate and effects in mammalian cells. In this paper, we present a study on the effect of particle surface oxidation and dissolution rates of Cu NPs. Particle dissolution, cell-associated Cu doses, and oxidative stress responses in A549 luciferase reporter cells were examined for Cu NPs modified with mercaptocarboxylic acids with different carbon chain lengths and a thiotic acid appended-PEG ligand (TA). We found that these Cu NPs released ionic species together with small particles upon oxidation and that surface chemistry influenced the morphology and dissolution rate. The dissolution rate was also shown to impact both the cellular Cu dosimetry and associated oxidative stress responses. The convergent results from dissolution and dosimetry measurements demonstrate that both intracellular and extracellular (i.e., NP uptake-independent) release of ionic species from Cu NPs greatly affect the cytotoxicity.

Aggregation, Sedimentation, and Dissolution of Copper Oxide Nanoparticles: Influence of Low-Molecular-Weight Organic Acids from Root Exudates.

Project description:The rhizosphere is an essential pathway for the uptake of metal-based nanoparticles (MNPs) by plant roots. However, the interaction between root exudates and MNPs is still unclear. In this study, we initially identified the major low-molecular-weight organic acids (LMWOAs) in the rice root exudates using hydroponics. Then, the individual LMWOAs were added to CuO nanoparticle suspensions to investigate their effects on the environmental behavior of the MNPs. The results showed that both the variety and the concentration of LMWOAs impacted the aggregation, sedimentation, and dissolution of CuO nanoparticles (NPs). Almost all LMWOAs except succinic acid inhibited the aggregation of CuO NPs by enhancing the electrostatic repulsive force between NPs. The presence of citric and oxalic acids rather than lactic acid greatly improved the stability of CuO NP suspensions, but other acids showed a low promoting and high inhibiting effect on NP sedimentation. Moreover, all the LMWOAs from root exudates facilitated the dissolution of CuO NPs with a positive dose-dependent correlation, especially formic acid. Notably, citric acid, as the most abundant LMWOAs in rice root exudates, largely determined the aggregation, sedimentation, and dissolution of CuO NPs. This study provides a better understanding on NP-plant interactions in the rhizosphere.

Expression data from primary human hepatic stellate cells treated with coated and uncoated ZnO nanoparticles, or ZnSO4

Project description:ZnO nanoparticles can elicit a range of perturbed cell responses in vitro. The liver is a target for ZnO nanoparticle-, or Zn2+ released from ZnO nanoparticles-induced accumulation and/or impact in vitro and in vivo. The response of human hepatic stellate cells to ZnO nanoparticles has not yet been assessed. We aimed to determine whether the presence of surface coatings could protect human hepatic stellate cells from ZnO nanoparticle-induced cytotoxicity. Primary human hepatic stellate cells were treated with one of two types of uncoated ZnO nanoparticles (Z-COTE or Nanosun), two types of coated ZnO nanoparticles (HP1, MAX), a mass equivalent of ZnSO4, or were left untreated. After 24 h, RNA was isolated and processed for whole genome transcriptional profiling, comparing the expresson profiles of treated cells to the untreated controls. Each treatment was prepared in duplicate.

Role of solution chemistry in the retention and release of graphene oxide nanomaterials in uncoated and iron oxide-coated sand.

Project description:Understanding the fate and transport including remobilization of graphene oxide nanomaterials (GONMs) in the subsurface would enable us to expedite their benign use and evaluate their environmental impacts and health risks. In this study, the retention and release of GONMs were investigated in water-saturated columns packed with uncoated sand (Un-S) or iron oxide-coated sand (FeS) at environmentally relevant solution chemistries (1-100mM KCl and 0.1-10mM CaCl2 at pH7 and 11). Our results showed that increasing ionic strength (IS) inhibited GONMs' transport, and the impact of K+ was less than Ca2+. The positively charged iron oxide coating on sand surfaces immobilized the negatively charged GONMs (pH7) in the primary minimum, yielding hyperexponential retention profiles particularly in Ca2+. A stepwise decrease in pore-water IS caused detachment of previously retained GONMs. The mass of GONMs released during each detachment step correlated positively with the difference in secondary minimum depth (??min2) at each IS, indicating that the released GONMs were retained in the secondary minimum. While most retained GONMs were re-entrained upon lowering pore-water IS in Un-S, decreasing IS only released limited GONMs in FeS, which were captured in the primary minimum. Introducing 1mM NaOH (pH11) released most retained GONMs in FeS; and average hydrodynamic diameters of the detached GONMs upon injecting NaOH were significantly smaller than those of GONMs in the influent and retentate, suggesting that NaOH induced GONMs disaggregation. Our findings advance current knowledge to better predict NMs' fate and transport under various solution chemistries such as during rainfall events or in the mixing zones between sea water and fresh water where transient IS changes drastically.

Renal clearance and degradation of glutathione-coated copper nanoparticles.

Project description:Degradation of inorganic nanoparticles (NPs) into small molecular complexes is often observed in the physiological environment; however, how this process influences renal clearance of inorganic NPs is largely unknown. By systematically comparing renal clearance of degradable luminescent glutathione coated copper NPs (GS-CuNPs) and their dissociated products, Cu(II)-glutathione disulfide (GSSG) complexes (Cu(II)-GSSG), we found that GS-CuNPs were eliminated through the urinary system surprisingly faster and accumulated in the liver much less than their smaller dissociation counterparts. With assistance of radiochemistry and positron emission tomography (PET) imaging, we found that the observed "nano size" effect in enhancing renal clearance is attributed to the fact that GS-CuNPs are more resistant to serum protein adsorption than Cu(II)-GSSG. In addition, since dissociation of GS-CuNPs follows zero-order chemical kinetics, their renal clearance and biodistribution also depend on initial injection doses and their dissociation processes. Quantitative understanding of size effect and other factors involved in renal clearance and biodistribution of degradable inorganic NPs will lay down a foundation for further development of renal-clearable inorganic NPs with minimized nanotoxicity.

Expression data from human olfactory neurosphere derived cells (hONS) established from adult donors treated with coated and uncoated ZnO nanoparticles

Project description:ZnO nanoparticles can elicit a range of cytotoxic responses in different cells in vitro that may reflect either Zn2+ dissolution or nanoparticle-specific effects. Coating the ZnO nanoparticles may mitigate their cytotoxicity. We aimed to capture whole genome transcriptional profiles (up and down regulated) at time-points associated with distinct cytotoxic responses in cells treated with two types of uncoated (Nanosun, Z-COTE) or two types of coated (HP1, MAX) ZnO nanoparticles, compared to untreated cells.

Probing the Radial Chemistry of Getter Components in Light Water Reactors via Controlled Electrochemical Dissolution.

Project description:Getters are among the key functional components in the tritium-producing burnable absorber rods (TPBARs) of light water reactors (LWRs) and are used to capture the released tritium gas. They are nickel-plated zircaloy-4 tubes that, upon exposure to irradiation or tritium in the light water reactors, undergo alteration in structure, chemical composition, and chemistry. Understanding the radial tritium distribution is key to gaining insight into the evolution of new chemistry upon irradiation to predict getter performance. The holy grail is to develop a method akin to selectively peeling off the layers of an onion in an effort to get a radial map of elements and particularly tritium across the getter. Toward this goal, the overall aim of this work is to establish a correlative technique that can be used to determine radial tritium distribution across getters. To this end, this work specifically focuses on the validation of a correlative method for controlled radial dissolution of nickel-plated getters. Here, pristine getters as well as getters loaded with different mass ratios of hydrogen and deuterium are used as the nonradioactive surrogates of tritium, the idea being that the methodology can be readily extended to tritiated getter components. Here, the surface nickel layers as well as the bulk zirconium layers are sequentially dissolved in a controlled, uniform way using voltage-assisted electrochemical dissolution techniques. The dissolution is complemented by periodic elemental analysis of the electrolyte solution during and post dissolution. This is complemented by microscopic analyses on the exposed surfaces to provide a correlative technique for a complete picture of the radial distribution of various elements across the getter.
