An experimental investigation was carried out to assess the removal efficiency of metal oxide nanoparticles from aqueous suspensions via sedimentation and the added benefit of membrane filtration. The study was conducted with aqueous suspensions of TiO2, ZnO, and CeO2 nanoparticles (NPs) of primary size of 10nm-21nm. The removal of NPs by gravitational settling was carried out with suspensions that were pretreated via pH adjustment and coagulant addition in order to increase the agglomerate size. Removal efficiencies were as high as 72.3-98.6% for the studied NPs with subsequent ultrafiltration of the remaining suspensions (post sedimentation) enabling essentially complete NP removal.
