Permeable reactive barriers containing zerovalent iron are being increasingly employed for in situ remediation of groundwater contaminated with redox active metals and chlorinated organic compounds. This research investigated the effect of chromate concentration on its removal from solution by zerovalent iron. Removal rates of aqueous Cr(VI) by iron wires were measured in batch experiments for ...

Background & objectives: In recent years, iron nanoparticles have been successfully used to remove water pollutants. Fecal coliform is one of the parameters that reduces water quality and its removal is essential. The aim of the present study is using nanoscale zerovalent iron particles to enhance the usual sand filters in removal of fecal coliform of groundwater in Ilam city. Methods: Water s...

abstract background: iron overload is a clinical consequence of repeated blood transfusions and causes significant organ damage, morbidity, and mortality in the absence of proper treatment. the primary targets of iron chelators used for treating transfusional iron overload are the prevention of iron ingress into tissues and its intracellular scavenging. the present study was aimed at elucidatin...

this study presents a comparison between aluminum and iron plate electrodes on phosphate removal from aqueous solutions by electrocoagulation process. the effectiveness of main operational parameters such as initial ph, initial phosphate concentration and current density were examined. in addition, treated solution and sludge characteristics, energy consumption and electrode mass depletion w...

background : textile wastewater is the most important pollutant of the environment. navy blue (nb) ce-rn is an important chemical dye widely used in the textile industry. the present study aimed to investigate the removal of nb textile dyes from aqueous solutions using magnetic iron oxide absorbents. methods: in this study, a sample of synthetic wastewater with nb concentration of 50 mg/l was u...

In this research, the efficiency of electrocoagulation treatment process using iron and aluminum electrodes to treat synthetic wastewater containing Reactive Red 24 (RR 24) was studied. The effects of parameters such as current density, pH, type of electrolyte, initial dye concentration, electrolyte concentration, temperature, and inter electrode distance on dye removal efficiency were investig...

This research project is designed to study the feasibility of removing or remediating nitrate/atrazine in groundwater using iron powder treatment. Iron powder was selected because it is cheap and nontoxic. Three different types of iron powders were used in this research. They were lab grade iron powder (about 0.02 micron in size), industrial grade iron powder (about 0.5 micron in size), and rus...

A novel chemical absorption-biological reduction (CABR) integrated process, employing ferrous ethylenediaminetetraacetate (Fe(II)EDTA) as a solvent, is deemed as a potential option for NOx removal from the flue gas. Previous work showed that the Fe(II)EDTA concentration was critical for the NOx removal in the CABR process. In this work, the pathway of FeEDTA (Fe(III)/Fe(II)-EDTA) transformation...
