Environmental cleanup using metallic iron
Author(s): Jennifer Stewart*
The suitability of remediation structures the use of metal iron (FeO) has been significantly mentioned all through the beyond three decades. It has been installed that aqueous FeO oxidative dissolution isn’t always due to the presence of any contaminant. Instead, the reductive transformation of contaminants is a outcome of FeO oxidation. Yet researchers are nonetheless preserving that electrons from the metallic frame are concerned withinside the system of contaminant reduction. According to the electron performance idea, electrons from FeO must be redistributed to:
• Contaminants of concern (COCs),
• Herbal lowering agents (e.g., H2 O, O2 ), and/or reducible cocontaminants (e.g. NO3 ). The electron performance is described because the fraction of electrons from FeO oxidation that’s applied for the reductive variations of COCs. This idea is in.. Read More»
