Abiotic Remediation of Nitro-Aromatic Groundwater Contaminants by Zero-Valent Iron

Abstract

Recent laboratory and field experiments have shown that some halogenated hydrocarbons undergo rapid reductive dehalogenation with zero-valent iron and the application of this process is being developed for in-situ remediation of contaminated groundwater. However, from can also reduce other organic substances and is commonly used to synthesize reduction products nitro compounds.
