Abstract
Natural inorganic colloids (NICs) are the most common and dominant existence in the ecosystem, with high concentration and wide variety. In spite of the low toxicity, they can alter activity and mobility of hazardous engineered nanoparticles (ENPs) through different interactions, which warrants the necessity to understand and predict the fate and transport of NICs in aquatic ecosystems. Here, this review summarized NICs properties and behaviors, interaction mechanisms and environmental factors at the first time. Various representative NICs and their physicochemical properties were introduced across the board. Then, the aggregation and sedimentation behaviors were discussed systematically, mainly concerning the heteroaggregation between NICs and ENPs. To speculate their fate and elucidate the corresponding mechanisms, the classical Derjaguin-Landau-Verwey-Overbeek (DLVO) and extended DLVO (X-DLVO) theories were focused. Furthermore, a range of intrinsic and extrinsic factors was presented in different perspective. Last but not the least, this paper pointed out theoretical and analytical gaps in current researches, and put forward suggestions for further research, aiming to provide a more comprehensive and original perspective in the fields of natural occurring colloids.
