Interactions between nanoscale zerovalent iron (NZVI) and silver nanoparticles alter the NZVI reactivity in aqueous environments

Environmental remediation approaches by nanoscale zero valent iron (nZVI) based on its reductivity: a review

“…Remedial efforts employing nZVI via reduction have been performed on 1,2-dichloroethylene (DCE), 28 trichloroethylene (TCE), [29][30][31][32] perchloroethylene (PCE), 28 1,1,1-trichloro-2,2-bis(4-chlorophenyl) ethane (DDT), 33 2,4-dichlorophenol (2,4-DCP), [34][35][36][37] trichloronitromethane (TCNM), 38 1,2,4-trichlorobenzene (1,2,4-TCB), 39 2,4,6-trichlorophenol (TCP), 40,41 2chlorobiphenyl (PCB1), 42,43 diclofenac (DCF), 44 chlorinated organophosphate esters (Cl-OPEs), 45 2,2 0 ,4,4 0 -tetrabromodiphenyl ether (BDE-47), 46,47 tetrabromobisphenol A (TBBPA), 48,49 methylene blue, 50 p-nitrophenol, 51,52 nitrobenzene, 53,54 mono-brominated diphenyl ether (BDE-3), 55 Cr(VI), [56][57][58][59][60][61] Sb(V), 62 Ni(II), [63][64][65][66] Pb(II), 65,67 Cu(II), 68 As(V), 69 U(VI), 23,[70][71]...…”

“…12). 52 Based on its high reductivity, investigations of reductive recovery of Cu and Ni from polluted rivers, reductive degradation of organophosphate esters, and reductive degradation of sulfamethoxazole by nZVI have also been reported. 45,68 2.3.2.…”
