Innovative remediation strategies for persistent organic pollutants in soil and water: A comprehensive review

Bio-based carbon foams assembled with Fe nanoparticles for simultaneous remediation of As, Hg and PAHs in co-contaminated industrial soils

“…Nanoscale materials have been evaluated for the immobilization of organic pollutants in contaminated soils; in particular, activated carbon nanoparticles and magnetite nanoparticles may adsorb PAHs from soil, lowering their bioavailability and reducing their concentration due to the sorption process. 32 Iron-based compounds have also showed to be effective in simultaneously immobilizing As and PAHs. 28 However, most studies are based on a combination of remediation technologies (microbial–plant or electrokinetics–biostimulation combination, chemical oxidation–bioremediation) 29,30,33,34 whose efficiencies depend on the type of plant, metals, etc.…”
