The paper suggests possible solutions to reduce the consumption of reactive power, save money by compensating for reactive loads, or the use of raising coefficients to tariffs for the transit of electricity through the networks of the power supply organization. Economic efficiency of work: this work is devoted to the problem of finding the optimal solution of reactive power compensation in the enterprise
Transport of N-CD and Pre-Sorbed Pb in Saturated Porous Media
Carbon dots (CDs) are a new type of nanomaterials of the carbon family with unique characteristics, such as their small size (e.g., \u3c10 nm), high water solubility, low toxicity, and high metal affinity. Modification of CDs by Nitrogen functional groups (N-CDs) enhances their metal adsorption capacity. This study investigated the influences of pH (4, 6, and 9), ionic strength (1, 50, and 100 mM), and cation valency (Na+ and Ca2+) on the competitive adsorption of Pb to quartz and N-CD surfaces, the transport and retention of N-CDs in saturated porous media, and the capacity of N-CDs to mobilize pre-adsorbed Pb in quartz columns. Pb adsorption was higher on N-CDs than on quartz surfaces and decreased with increases in ionic strength (IS) and divalent cations (Ca2+) concentration. N-CD mobility in quartz columns was highest at pH of 9- and 1-mM monovalent cations (Na+) and decreased with decreases in pH and increases in ionic strength and ion valency. N-CDs mobilized pre-adsorbed Pb from quartz due to the higher adsorption affinity of Pb to N-CD than to quartz surfaces. These findings provide valuable insights into the transport, retention, and risk assessment of lead in the presence of carbon-based engineered nanoparticles

Post print version of article deposited. The final published version is available from: http://dx.doi.org/10.1021/es901971aNanoparticles (NPs) are reported to be a potential environmental health hazard. For organisms living in the aquatic environment, there is uncertainty on exposure because of a lack of understanding and data regarding the fate, behavior, and bioavailability of the nanomaterials in the water column. This paper reports on a series of integrative biological and physicochemical studies on the uptake of unmodified commercial nanoscale metal oxides, zinc oxide (ZnO), cerium dioxide (CeO(2)), and titanium dioxide (TiO(2)), from the water and diet to determine their potential ecotoxicological impacts on fish as a function of concentration. Particle characterizations were performed and tissue concentrations were measured by a wide range of analytical methods. Definitive uptake from the water column and localization of TiO(2) NPs in gills was demonstrated for the first time by use of coherent anti-Stokes Raman scattering (CARS) microscopy. Significant uptake of nanomaterials was found only for cerium in the liver of zebrafish exposed via the water and ionic titanium in the gut of trout exposed via the diet. For the aqueous exposures undertaken, formation of large NP aggregates (up to 3 mum) occurred and it is likely that this resulted in limited bioavailability of the unmodified metal oxide NPs in fish
Potential use of engineered nanoparticles in ocean fertilization for large-scale atmospheric carbon dioxide removal
Artificial ocean fertilization (AOF) aims to safely stimulate phytoplankton growth in the ocean and enhance carbon sequestration. AOF carbon sequestration efficiency appears lower than natural ocean fertilization processes due mainly to the low bioavailability of added nutrients, along with low export rates of AOF-produced biomass to the deep ocean. Here we explore the potential application of engineered nanoparticles (ENPs) to overcome these issues. Data from 123 studies show that some ENPs may enhance phytoplankton growth at concentrations below those likely to be toxic in marine ecosystems. ENPs may also increase bloom lifetime, boost phytoplankton aggregation and carbon export, and address secondary limiting factors in AOF. Life-cycle assessment and cost analyses suggest that net CO2 capture is possible for iron, SiO2 and Al2O3 ENPs with costs of 2β5 times that of conventional AOF, whereas boosting AOF efficiency by ENPs should substantially enhance net CO2 capture and reduce these costs. Therefore, ENP-based AOF can be an important component of the mitigation strategy to limit global warming
Oxidative stress mechanisms caused by ag nanoparticles (NM300K) are different from those of AgNO3: effects in the soil invertebrate enchytraeus crypticus
The mechanisms of toxicity of Ag nanoparticles (NPs) are unclear, in particular
in the terrestrial environment. In this study the effects of AgNP (AgNM300K) were assessed
in terms of oxidative stress in the soil worm Enchytraeus crypticus, using a range of
biochemical markers [catalase (CAT), glutathione peroxidase (GPx), glutathione
S-transferase (GST), glutathione reductase (GR), total glutathione (TG), metallothionein
(MT), lipid peroxidation (LPO)]. E. crypticus were exposed during 3 and 7 days (d) to the
reproduction EC20, EC50 and EC80 levels of both AgNP and AgNO3. AgNO3 induced
oxidative stress earlier (3 d) than AgNP (7 d), both leading to LPO despite the activation of
the anti-redox system. MT increased only for AgNP. The Correspondence Analysis showed
a clear separation between AgNO3 and AgNP, with e.g. CAT being the main descriptor for
AgNP for 7 d. LPO, GST and GPx were for both 3 and 7 d associated with AgNO3, whereas
MT and TG were associated with AgNP. These results may reflect a delay in the effects of
AgNP compared to AgNO3 due to the slower release of Ag+ ions from the AgNP, although
this does not fully explain the observed differences, i.e., we can conclude that there is a
nanoparticle effect
Results of an interlaboratory comparison for characterization of Pt nanoparticles using single-particle ICP-TOFMS
This study describes an interlaboratory comparison (ILC) among nine (9) laboratories to evaluate and validate the standard operation procedure (SOP) for single-particle (sp) ICP-TOFMS developed within the context of the Horizon 2020 project ACEnano. The ILC was based on the characterization of two different Pt nanoparticle (NP) suspensions in terms of particle mass, particle number concentration, and isotopic composition. The two Pt NP suspensions were measured using icpTOF instruments (TOFWERK AG, Switzerland). Two Pt NP samples were characterized and mass equivalent spherical sizes (MESSs) of 40.4 Β± 7 nm and 58.8 Β± 8 nm were obtained, respectively. MESSs showed <16% relative standard deviation (RSD) among all participating labs and <4% RSD after exclusion of the two outliers. A good agreement was achieved between the different participating laboratories regarding particle mass, but the particle number concentration results were more scattered, with <53% RSD among all laboratories, which is consistent with results from previous ILC studies conducted using ICP-MS instrumentation equipped with a sequential mass spectrometer. Additionally, the capabilities of sp-ICP-TOFMS to determine masses on a particle basis are discussed with respect to the potential for particle density determination. Finally, because quasi-simultaneous multi-isotope and multi-element determinations are a strength of ICP-TOFMS instrumentation, the precision and trueness of isotope ratio determinations were assessed. The average of 1000 measured particles yielded a precision of below Β±1% for intensity ratios of the most abundant Pt isotopes, i.e.194Pt and 195Pt, while the accuracy of isotope ratios with the lower abundant isotopes was limited by counting statistics
