Dechlorination of Trichloroethylene in Groundwater by Nanoscale Bimetallic Fe/Pd Particles

چکیده
Palladium/iron bimetallic nanoparticles were synthesized using microemulsion method in the water-in-oil (W/O) microemulsion system, which was made up of iso-octane, cetyltrimethyl-ammonium bromide (CTAB), butanol and water and characterized by measuring the conductivity of the solution. Transmission electron microscope (TEM) and energy dispersive X-ray microanalysis (EDX) analysis showed that the average diameter of synthesized palladium/iron bimetallic nanoparticles was less than 80 nm, which was much smaller than the particles produced by the solution method. The palladium/iron bimetallic nanoscale particles produced in the laboratory showed better performance on dechlorinating TCE than the other materials. The nanoscale Fe/Pd particles exhibited high reactivity. When Pd content is 0.5%, the best TCE dechlorination efficiency is achieved within 30min. And Fe/Pd nanoparticles show persistent reaction activity in some sense.

Nanoscale Pd/Fe bimetallic particles: Catalytic effects of palladium on hydrodechlorination
Reported herein is a study on the catalytic properties of palladium for hydrodechlorination using nanoscale zero-valent iron particles. Temperature-dependent experiments and X-ray diffraction (XRD) are conducted to characterize reactions of chlorinated ethylenes with nanoscale Fe and Pd/Fe particles. XRD results suggest bimetallic structures are created as a result of Pd(II) reduction by zero-v...

متن کاملNanoscale iron particles for complete reduction of chlorinated ethenes
This paper examines the potential for using laboratory synthesized nanoscale Pd/Fe bimetallic particles to reduce chlorinated ethenes. Rapid and complete dechlorination was achieved for six chlorinated ethenes: tetrachloroethene (PCE, C2Cl4), trichloroethene (TCE, C2HCl3), 1,1-dichloroethene (1,1-DCE, C2H2Cl2), cisand trans-1,2dichloroethene (c-DCE, t-DCE, C2H2Cl2), and vinyl chloride (VC, C2H3...
متن کاملDechlorination of trichloroethylene in aqueous solution by noble metal-modified iron.
Bimetallic particles are extremely interesting in accelerating the dechlorination of chlorinated organics. Four noble metals (Pd, Pt, Ru and Au), separately deposited onto the iron surface through a spontaneous redox process, promoted the TCE dechlorination rate, and the catalytic activity of the noble metal followed the order of Pd>>Ru>Pt>Au. This order was found to be dependent on the concent...

Nanoscale bimetallic Ni/Fe particles were synthesized from the reaction of sodium borohydride (NaBH4) with reduction of Ni2+ and Fe2+ in aqueous solution. The obtained Ni/Fe particles were characterized by TEM (transmission electron microscope), XRD (X-ray diffractometer), and N2-BET. The dechlorination activity of the Ni/Fe was investigated using p-chlorophenol (p-CP) as a probe agent. Results...
