volatile organic compounds (vocs) are in categories of mankind and environmentally harmful materials. some of vocs are also carcinogenic and mutagen. because of expanded application of these compounds as various domestic and industrial usages, prevention of environmental contamination of these compounds is a substantial issue.  in this study, the effect of zero-valent iron nanoparticles applica...

In the present work, nano scaled zero valent irons (nZVI) were synthesized in ethanol medium by the method of ferric iron reduction using sodium borohydride as a reducing agent under atmospheric conditions. The obtained iron nanoparticles are mainly in zero valent oxidation state and remain without significant oxidation for weeks. A systematic characterization of nZVI was performed using UV, XR...

manganese is one of the significant raw materials for various industries and most difficult element to remove from water because of its high solubility. the treatment of mn (ii) contained wastewater is stringent for environmental preservations. in the present study adsorption of mn2+ on zero-valent iron nanoparticles synthesized by chemical reduction process and modified with phosphate coating ...

conclusions briefly, the current study represents a novel method to eliminate temephos as an organophosphate compound from water samples with modified zero-valent iron nanoparticles. background temephos is an organophosphate pesticide used as larvicide in the environment. although not extremely hazardous, it can be risky for human health in the moderate concentrations. objectives this study inv...

Zero-valent iron nanoparticles are used for the degradation of organic compounds and the immobilization of metals and metalloids. The lack of information on the effect of nZVI in freshwater system necessitated the risk assessment of zero-valent iron nanoparticles in lake water environment. The present study deals with the stability and fate of synthesized zero-valent iron nanoparticles in the u...

The microbiological impact of zero-valent iron used in the remediation of groundwater was investigated by exposing a trichloroethylene-degrading anaerobic microbial community to two types of iron nanoparticles. Changes in total bacterial and archaeal population numbers were analyzed using qPCR and were compared to results from a blank and negative control to assess for microbial toxicity. Addit...

nowdays,  iron  nanoparticles  due  to  their  unique  characteristics  are used  in  all  of  sciences  and  technology.  these  nano  particles  due  to their  electrical, magnetic,  optical  and  catalytic  properties  and  having high  area  and  activity  that  is  promped  by  their  small  size  and most importantly  many  scientists  from  the  entire  world  are  interested  in their  ...

Background & Aims of the Study: The heterotrophic bacteria are widely used as a water microbial pollution index for drinking water. The aim of this study was to investigate the effect of metallic nanoparticles such as Zero Valent Iron (ZVI), Titanium dioxide (TiO2) and Zinc oxide (ZnO) on Heterotrophic Bacter...
