Characterisation of transformed Ag nanoparticles in aerobic sludge samples using STEM-HAADF. (a) STEM-HAADF image of a typical NP aggregate containing sulfidised nanoscale Ag particles. The bright aggregates are indicative of high Z elements (b) STEM-HAADF image of a typical Ag aggregate, particles 1–3 were characterised using energy dispersive X-ray (EDX) analysis (see Figure 3). The sludge sample was collected from the AgNP spiked SBR at the end of the experiment SBR experiment.
