nZVI is widely used in environmental applications due to its ability to remediate various contaminants. Key applications include:
Groundwater Remediation: nZVI can be injected into contaminated groundwater to degrade pollutants such as trichloroethylene (TCE) and perchloroethylene (PCE). Soil Remediation: It can be used to treat contaminated soil, reducing the concentration of heavy metals and organic contaminants. Water Treatment: nZVI is effective in purifying water by removing heavy metals like arsenic, lead, and cadmium.
