Abstract
⺠Nano-ceria (CeO2) is highly removed by activated sludge treatment (96.6% total Ce). ⺠Extensive removal of CeO2 <200 nm was also attained. ⺠Nano-CeO2 interaction with wastewater components caused CeO2 aggregation and settling. ⺠Sorption onto sludge biomass also contributed to CeO2 removal. ⺠Nano-CeO2 shows low inhibition towards O2 uptake by activated sludge.
