Research ArticleOpen accessPhrase in the titlePreliminary Tests Concerning Zero-Valent Iron Efficiency in Inorganic Pollutants RemediationSilvia Fiore, Maria Chiara ZanettiProblem statement: This study was aimed to a preliminary evaluation of the applicability of granular Zero-Valent Iron (ZVI) to the on site remediation of groundwater polluted by inorganic contaminants by means of a Permeable Reactive Barrier (PRB). A particular interest was devoted to groundwater impacted by Acid Mine Drainage (AMD) that was caused by the oxidation of metal sulphide minerals … …American Journal of Environmental Sciences, Vol. 5, Issue 4 · 31 Aug 2009 · 6,789 accessesView PDF Cite

Research ArticleOpen accessEvery word in the titleSynthesis and Characterization of Marine Clay-Supported Nano Zero Valent IronHo Kuok How, Wan Zuhairi Wan YaacobThis study reports the preparation and characterization of marine clay nano zero valent iron (MC+nZVI) where marine clay acts as the composite material. Marine clay was air dried and pulverized before used. Basically, MC+nZVI was synthesized by chemical reduction method. The materials synthesized were left oven dried overnight at 50°C. The obtained materials were characterized by Field Emission Scanning Electron … …American Journal of Environmental Sciences, Vol. 11, Issue 2 · 26 Jun 2015 · 7,124 accessesView PDF Cite

Research ArticleOpen accessEvery word in the titleRAPID DEGRADATION OF AZO DYES USING NANO-SCALE ZERO VALENT IRONNabila Rahman, Zainal Abedin, M. Ali HossainIn the present study, nano-scale Zero Valent Iron (NZVI) was 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 hours. A systematic characterization of NZVI was performed using XRD, SEM and … …American Journal of Environmental Sciences, Vol. 10, Issue 2 · 8 Apr 2014 · 8,599 accessesView PDF Cite

Research ArticleOpen accessIn the keywordsPerformance Assessment and Monitoring of a Permeable Reactive Barrier for the Remediation of a Contaminated SiteValerio Zolla, Rajandrea Sethi, Antonio Di MolfettaThe present study illustrates the long-term monitoring plan carried out in order to investigate the performance of a zero-valent iron permeable reactive barrier (PRB) at a chlorinated solvents’ site. The cleanup intervention has been undertaken at an industrial landfill located near the city of Turin (Italy) and represents the first full-scale application of this technology in Italy. The monitoring plan … …American Journal of Environmental Sciences, Vol. 3, Issue 3 · 30 Sep 2007 · 7,438 accessesView PDF Cite
