“…Commonly, Fe is very reactive upon contact with oxygen and water, whereby its reactivity increases when the size is reduced to nanoscale. The particle size of nZVI is larger compared with the iron oxide nanoparticle, at 28 and 20 nm, respectively 64 . The reactivity and mobility of nZVI are dependent on its size, surface reactivity, type of support material and route of synthesis process.…”

Heavy metal pollution of water is a global concern, which adversely affects human health because of its resistance to biodegradation and thus its transmission in the food chain via bioaccumulation. Nano zerovalent iron (nZVI) is very effective for the removal of heavy metals and is cost effective in terms of production. However, the main problems of nZVI are agglomeration and ease of oxidation. Several stabilization materials have been implemented to limit the aggregation of nZVI, such as silica, activated carbon and biochar. In comparison, as a support material, biochar possesses a large surface area, high stability and strong adsorption capacity, as well as being obtainable from various types of materials. Thus, this work aims to establish the opportunities available on the use of biochar-supported nZVI in utilizing its ability to stabilize and immobilize the nZVI. This review also reports the preparation, modification and surface enhancement of biochar, nZVI and biochar-nZVI for practical use as adsorbents. This review shows that modifications of the nZVI surface can help in their stabilization and reduction of aggregation. Additionally, this review is able to increase one's understanding of heavy metal sorption behavior by biochar-supported nZVI as it is the important as heavy metal sorption is driven based on biochar-nZVI type and heavy metal species which involve numerous mechanisms, including physical binding, complexation, ion exchange, surface precipitation and electrostatic interactions. Furthermore, this research reviews the adsorption parameters, including the crucial adsorption mechanism of heavy metals onto biochar-nZVI; the reusability of the biochar-nZVI is also discussed in this work.

“…Petroleum sludge is a hazardous waste containing petroleum hydrocarbons and is resulted from petroleum-related activities including exploration, transport, conservation, refining and cleaning of petroleum tanks. This waste undergoes various aging and aeration processes, which eventually leads to higher molecular weight and alteration of total petroleum hydrocarbon (TPH) ratio (Das et al 2011;Fallah et al 2015;Varma et al 2017; Varjani and Upasani 2017a; Kim et al 2018;Al-Hawash et al 2018;da Silva et al 2019;Karthick et al 2019b;Bao et al 2020). These sludges contain high amounts of water, paraffin and precipitate.…”

In this study, the effect of different sizes and weights of active carbon as a remediator was evaluated on reduction or removal of petroleum hydrocarbons of a soil polluted by petroleum sludge. The present pilot study was conducted as a split plot in time experiment based on a completely randomized design with three replicates under laboratory conditions for period of 60 days. The experimental treatments included active carbon weights and sizes of 100 g and 0.3 mm (W100S0.3), 100 g and 1.5 mm (W100S1.5), 100 g and 4 mm (W100S4), 150 g and 0.3 mm (W150S0.3), 150 g and 1.5 mm (W150S1.5), 150 g and 4 mm (W150S4) and control (C). Total petroleum hydrocarbon (TPH) and microbial respiration were measured each ten days. The results showed that concentration of TPH decreased with increasing active carbon weight and size. The highest and lowest TPH concentration at all 10-day intervals was associated with control and W150S0.3 treatments. Decreased TPH was accompanied by increased microbial respiration. In general, TPH biodegradation constant (K) increased and half-life times (T 1/2 ) decreased by increasing active carbon application with smaller sizes. The lowest value for TPH biodegradation percentage was associated with W100S4 and W100S1.5 treatments. Active carbon treatments of W150S0.3 and W150S1.5 led the best TPH biodegradation in petroleum sludge-polluted soil. Therefore, active carbon remediator may be applied as a low-cost, efficient and environment-friendly strategy for remediation of petroleum pollution in soil.

“…Surfactant efficiency for solubilizing petroleum hydrocarbons decreases when the soil adsorbs a significant amount of it. The surfactant–soil sorption depends on soil texture (Karthick et al 2019c ; Paria 2008 ), soil organic matter (Ussawarujikulchai 2008 ) and the type of surfactant used (Paria 2008 ). Soil texture and soil organic matter influence in surfactant soil flushing has been studied in polycyclic aromatic hydrocarbons (PAHs) (Ussawarujikulchai 2008 ; Zhou and Zhu 2007 ) and chlorinated organic compounds (Lee et al 2002 ).…”

The present study determined the most effective surfactants to remediate gasoline and diesel-contaminated soil integrating information from soil texture and soil organic matter. Different ranges for aliphatic and aromatic hydrocarbons (> C6–C8, > C8–C10, > C10–C12, > C12–C16, > C16–C21, and > C21–C35) in gasoline and diesel fuel were analyzed. This type of analysis has been investigated infrequently. Three types of soils (silty clay, silt loam, and loamy sand) and four surfactants (non-ionic: Brij 35 and Tween 80; anionic: SDBS and SDS) were used. The results indicated that the largest hydrocarbon desorption was 56% for silty clay soil (SDS), 59% for silt loam soil (SDBS), and 69% for loamy sand soil (SDS). Soils with large amounts of small particles showed the worst desorption efficiencies. Anionic surfactants removed more hydrocarbons than non-ionic surfactants. It was notable that preferential desorption on different hydrocarbon ranges was observed since aliphatic hydrocarbons and large ranges were the most recalcitrant compounds of gasoline and diesel fuel components. Unlike soil texture, natural organic matter concentration caused minor changes in the hydrocarbon removal rates. Based on these results, this study might be useful as a tool to select the most cost-effective surfactant knowing the soil texture and the size and chemical structure of the hydrocarbons present in a contaminated site.
