This paper investigated the effect mechanism of complex components (fulvic acid [FA], sodium dodecylbenzene sulfonate [SDBS], and sodium nitrate [NaNO3 ]) on the aggregation kinetics of polyvinylpyrrolidone-modified silver nanoparticles (PVP-AgNPs) under UV irradiation. The results showed that FA and NaNO3 alone did not cause aggregation due to the high steric hindrance and/or electrostatic repulsive forces. In high concentration of SDBS solution (20-50 mM), the stability of PVP-AgNPs was reduced by adsorbing SDBS on nanoparticle surface and replacing their PVP coatings. A mixed system of two pollutants had a synergistic effect on PVP-AgNPs aggregation. In the mixed system of SDBS and FA, the interaction of SDBS and PVP-AgNPs dominated the aggregation of PVP-AgNPs. NaNO3 significantly improved the aggregation rate of PVP-AgNPs in SDBS solution due to the charge neutralization effect of electrolyte. In 20 mg/L FA solution, the aggregation rate increased slightly with increasing NaNO3 concentration from 50 to 200 mM due to the charge neutralization effect, while the hydrodynamic diameters of PVP-AgNPs increased linearly and rapidly to micrometer size because the spatial conformation of adsorbed FA became compact in high-salinity solution. The calculation results of eDLVO theory were basically consistent with most of the experimental results. PRACTITIONER POINTS: PVP-AgNPs was uniformly dispersed in NaNO3 or FA solution under UV irradiation. PVP-AgNPs formed aggregates in SDBS solutions under UV irradiation. A system with two mixed pollutants had a synergistic effect on promoting aggregation of PVP-AgNPs. eDLVO theory could explain the aggregation results in different chemical conditions except in NaNO3 solution
