PurposeNanoscale zero valent iron (NZVI) is emerging as a new option for the treatment of contaminated soil and groundwater targeting mainly chlorinated organic contaminants (e.g., solvents, pesticides) and inorganic anions or metals. The purpose of this article is to give a short overview of the practical experience with NZVI applications in Europe and to present a comparison to the situation in the USA. Furthermore, the reasons for the difference in technology use are discussed.MethodThe… Expand

Removal of arsenic(III) from groundwater by nanoscale zero-valent iron.
TLDR
Nanoscale zero-valent iron (NZVI) was synthesized and tested for the removal of As(III), which is a highly toxic, mobile, and predominant arsenic species in anoxic groundwater and suggests that NZVI is a suitable candidate for both in-situ and ex-Situ groundwater treatment due to its high reactivity.
