INTRODUCTION This study relates to use of zerovalent iron to generate hydroxyl free radicals and undergo subsequent oxidation to destroy 4-nonylphenol (NP) by mild process in aqueous solution and activation of oxygen gas (O2) at room temperature. This technology is based on a novel oxidative mechanism mediated by zerovalent iron rather than commonly used reduction mechanism. MATERIALS AND MET...

A novel approach for the in situ synthesis of zerovalent aryl-coated iron nanoparticles (NPs) based on diazonium salt chemistry is proposed. Surface-modified zerovalent iron NPs (ZVI NPs) were prepared by simple chemical reduction of iron(III) chloride aqueous solution followed by in situ modification using water soluble arenediazonium tosylate. The resulting NPs, with average iron core diamete...

This work describes the synthesis and testing of a novel environmental sorbent that combines the advantages of biochar, chitosan, and zerovalent iron (ZVI). Chitosan was used as a dispersing and soldering reagent to attach fine ZVI particles onto bamboo biochar surfaces. Characterization of the resulted ZVI-biochar composites (BBCF) indicated that chitosan effectively soldered the iron particle...

treatment of ground water contaminated with halogenated pesticides is a challenging task. thispaper focuses on preparation, characterization and treatment of heptachlor by iron particles synthesized fromsteel industry waste (s-zvi). the bof sludge, which is dumped in landfills, is an iron rich source and wasused as the source material for s-zvi synthesis. the vital step was reducing agent sodiu...

In this report is discussed a novel, easy, and general synthesis method to prepare zerovalent iron (ZVI) and copper (ZV Cu) nanoparticles (NPs), from colloid dispersions in an environmental friendly organic solvent, ethylene glycol (EG). Conventional metallic salts are used as nanoparticle precursors; sodium borohydride (NaBH4) is the reducing agent, and triethylamine (TEA) is used as the nanop...

In this study, degradation of p-chlorophenol (p-CP) was evaluated using persulfate (PS) activated zerovalent iron (ZVI) based ultraviolet (UV) in a bench scale photoreactor. The effect of operational parameters such as solution pH (3, 7, and 11), reaction time (0-60 minutes), ZVI dosage (0.15, 1.25, 0.5, 1, and 1.5 mM), PS concentration (0.5, 1.5, 2, 2.5, 3, and 4 mM), and initial p-CP concentr...

The present work was conducted for Arsenic (III) removal, which one of the most poisonous groundwater pollutants, by synthetic nano size zerovalent iron (nZVI). Batch experiments were performed to investigate the influence of As (III), nZVI concentration, pH of solution and contact time on the efficiency of As (III) removal. nZVI was synthesized by reduction of ferric chloride by sodium borohyd...

Hydrogen is becoming important clean energy while zerovalent iron (ZVI) and ferroferric oxide are of great interest to many applications including environmental remediation chemical catalysis. Here, we report production hydrogen, octahedron by etching Al–Fe alloys using NaOH solutions. The rate hydrogen generation increased with increasing concentration the alloy's particle size decreasing Fe c...
