“…1,2 However, this technology has inherent disadvantages, such as creation of a large amount of waste products (iron precipitate sludge) and requirement of low working pH (range of 2-3); which restricts its global acceptance as a practical wastewater treatment technology. 14,15 Iron-based bimetallic nanoparticles have received attention in wastewater treatment technology 14,16,17 owing to their small particle size, large effective surface area and inherent higher reactivity. 16 The use of additional metallic catalysts, such as palladium (Pd) and nickel (Ni) with nZVI (Fe 0 ) can enhance the rate of reduction by providing reactive electron donors or hydrogen catalysts.…”
