Abstract

Abstract

With the rapid development of nanotechnology, nanoceria (nano-CeO₂) with novel physicochemical properties are widely applied in industrial and consumer products. It is inevitable for the increasing quantities of nano-CeO₂ being released into the wastewater treatment plants (WWTPs), which would further impose adverse effect on wastewater purification and stable operation of WWTPs. In this review, the fates and transformations of nano-CeO₂, the effects of nano-CeO₂ on the surface properties, functional activities and community composition of microbes were systemically discussed to illustrate the environmental behaviors and toxicity effects of nano-CeO₂ on WWTPs. Furthermore, the influences of nano-CeO₂ on WWTPs and strategies to attenuate the negative effects of nano-CeO₂ on WWTPs were summarized. This paper was aimed to provide theorical and scientific basis for controlling and preventing the environmental risks of nano-CeO₂ in WWTPs.
