- Conclusions:
- At any of the time points mentioned in the TG-318, the influence of Ca is critical. Regardless of pH, the pigment is least stable in 10 mM Ca, representing high water hardness. After 6h, the samples showed high dispersion stability in 0 mM Ca and 1 mM Ca and low stability in 10 mM Ca at all pH. After 24 hours the stability in 0 mM Ca at all pH became intermediate. The sample stability in 1 mM Ca at pH = 4 remained high and for samples at pH = 7 and pH = 9 became intermediate. For the samples in 10 mM Ca the stability remained low.

To rationalize the observed dispersion stability, we finally checked the particle size distribution directly in the environmental medium. We applied the NanoDefine method of Analytical Ultracentrifugation (SOP AUC-RI, published by 3). The centrifugation parameters are given in the methods section.
As required by TG318, paragraph 31, the tested nanomaterial was pre-wetted in ultrapure water and left in the form of wet-paste for 24 h. The TG318 requires this step “to insure the proper interaction of nanomaterial surface with ultrapure water.” We visually observed incomplete wetting, and so any ensuing measurement would have been incorrect. In accord with the NanoGenoTox dispersion protocol, a drop of ethanol was added, successfully transferred the powder into a paste, which was then further diluted as specified in the TG318
The observed size distributions confirm the moderate agglomeration at 1 mM Ca, pH7, with NOM (Figure 4). If the particles would have been significantly dissolved, no size distribution would be observable at all by this method, which relies on the detection of the movement of particles during centrifugal separation.
Additionally, the centrifugation methods include a determination of the remaining absorption after centrifugation, fully consistent with the conventional determination of the dissolved fraction after centrifugation as recommended by the TG-318. The remaining absorption was measured at ca. 0.042. This is a fraction of 3% of the initial absorption, but actually is close to the LOD of the built-in UV/Vis detector. Considering the LOD, between 0% and 3% of the sample may have been dissolved.
All evidence combined, the results after centrifugation confirm that at least 97% of the observed dispersion stability has to be attributed to the particles, not to dissolution.
