Stabilization of biosolids with nanoscale zero-valent iron (nZVI) (2007, background): “Degradation of hexachlorocyclohexanes (‘‘HCHs’’), one of the most widely used pesticides, serves as an example of the reducing power of iron nanoparticles for treatment of chlorinated organic contaminants ( Li et al. 2006 ).”
Nanomaterials in the environment: Behavior, fate, bioavailability, and effects (2008, background): “For zero-valent iron, the easiest and most popular method of preparation is through the reduction of ferric (Fe[III]) or ferrous (Fe[II]) salts with sodium borohydride [29].”
Nanoscale zero-valent iron as a catalyst for heterogeneous Fenton oxidation of amoxicillin (2014, positive): “Early studies on contaminant remediation using nZVI focused on the reduction of potential contaminants such as halogenated organics, heavy metals, pesticides, nitroaromatic compounds and nitrates [10].”
Synthesis, characterization and role of zero-valent iron nanoparticle in removal of hexavalent chromium from chromium-spiked soil (2011, positive): “Now a days, use of Fe nanoparticle is becoming an increasingly popular method for treatment of hazardous and toxic wastes and for remediation of contaminated soil and ground water (Li et al. 2006; Li and Zhang 2006; Lien et al. 2006).”
