Article Synopsis
- - Recent studies suggest that ferrates (iron in higher oxidation states) could effectively oxidize and eliminate various organic and inorganic contaminants, but most applications have only been tested in lab settings, not real-world scenarios.
- - The effectiveness of ferrates in remediation has been inconsistent, leading researchers to explore their use in combination with other agents to improve removal efficiency.
- - Laboratory experiments showed that combining ferrates with hydrogen peroxide in pilot field applications significantly improved the removal of contaminants from contaminated groundwater, achieving around 60-80% removal and also reducing odor and suspended particles.
In this paper, the authors present the pilot in situ application of nano zero-valent iron (nZVI) for effective remediation of groundwater in an industrial area contaminated by chlorinated ethylenes (CEs), which create a significant group of global environmental contaminants. This work covers the entire 1-year remediation process, including systematic laboratory tests and field application techniques for nZVI. The application was carried out in the area of a metal fabrication industrial facility in the Czech Republic.
