Degradation of chlorinated phenols by nanoscale zero-valent iron
Frontiers of Environmental Science & Engineering in China, 2008Chlorophenols (CPs), as important contaminants in groundwater, are toxic and difficult to biodegrade. Recently nanoscale zero-valent iron received a great deal of attention because of its excellent performance in treating recalcitrant compounds.

Stabilization of biosolids with nanoscale zero-valent iron (nZVI)
Journal of Nanoparticle Research, 2007Biosolids are the treated organic residuals, also known as sludge, that are generated from domestic wastewater treatment plants. According to the USEPA, over 7 millions tons (dry weight) of biosolids are generated every year in the US by more than the 16,000 wastewater treatment plants and a large portion of these biosolids is disposed on land ...

Study on Cytotoxicity of Nanoscale Zero Valent Iron Particles
Materials Science Forum, 2011Although small nZNI nanoparticles are useful in various applications, the biosafety of this material needs to be evaluated. In this study, Escherichia coli cells were exposed to 0, 112, 560, 1120 mg/L of nano-Fe0particles, respectively. Experiments were carried out to examine the activities of lactate dehydrogenase (LDH), cellular superoxide dismutase (

Recovery of indium ions by nanoscale zero-valent iron
Journal of Nanoparticle Research, 2017Indium and its compounds have plenty of industrial applications and high demand. Therefore, indium recovery from various industrial effluents is necessary. It was sequestered by nanoscale zero-valent iron (nZVI) whose size mainly ranged from 50 to 70 nm. Adsorption kinetics and isotherm, influence of pH, and ionic strength were thoroughly investigated.

Removal of Antibiotic Florfenicol by Sulfide-Modified Nanoscale Zero-Valent Iron
Environmental Science & Technology, 2017Florfenicol (FF, C12H14Cl2FNO4S), an emerging halogenated organic contaminant of concern was effectively degraded in water by sulfidized nanoscale zerovalent iron (S-nZVI). Sulfidized nZVI (62.5 m2 g-1) that was prepared using a one-step method resulted in small Fe0/Fe-sulfide particles that were more stable against aggregation than unsulfidized nZVI ...

Dechlorination of Excess Trichloroethene by Bimetallic and Sulfidated Nanoscale Zero-Valent Iron
Environmental Science & Technology, 2018Nanoscale zerovalent iron (nZVI) likely finds its application in source zone remediation. Two approaches to modify nZVI have been reported: bimetal (Fe-Me) and sulfidated nZVI (S-nZVI). However, previous research has primarily focused on enhancing particle reactivity with these two modifications under more plume-like conditions.
