Iron (Fe) is the fourth most abundant element in the earth's crust and plays important roles in
both biological and chemical processes. The redox reactivity of various Fe (II) forms has …

Zero valent iron (ZVI) and ZVI-based materials have been widely used for the reduction of
nitrate, a major contaminant commonly detected in groundwater and surface water. The …

Abstract Treatment of wastewater containing heavy metals requires considerations on
simultaneous removal of different ions, system reliability and quick separation of reaction …

In water treatment processes that involve contaminant reduction by zerovalent iron (ZVI),
reduction of water to dihydrogen is a competing reaction that must be minimized to maximize …

For the past 15 years, nanoscale metallic iron (nZVI) has been investigated as a new tool for
the treatment of contaminated water and soil. The technology has reached commercial …

Since the late 1990s, the use of nano zero valent iron (nZVI) for groundwater remediation
has been investigated for its potential to reduce subsurface contaminants such as PCBs …

Nanoscale zero-valent iron (nZVI) is one of the most extensively applied nanomaterials for
groundwater and hazardous waste treatment. In the past fifteen years, progress made in …

Abstract Knowledge on the transformation of nanoscale zero-valent iron (nZVI) in water is
essential to predict its surface chemistry including surface charge, colloidal stability and …

The effectiveness of nanoscale zero-valent iron (nZVI) to remove heavy metals from water is
reduced by its low durability, poor mechanical strength, and tendency to form aggregates. A …

In this study, we demonstrate that surface phosphate modification of nZVI (p-nZVI) could
enhance the electron selectivity of Cr (VI) reduction from 6.1% to 31.3%, as estimated by …
