Nanotechnology for Environmental Remediation

by Sung Hee Joo, Frank Cheng, I. Francis Cheng

Book Overview

The book examines the suitability of nanoscale zero-valent iron (ZVI) for degradation of agrochemicals for the purpose of developing a cost-effective treatment technology. It identifies by-products produced from the ZVI-mediated degradation process of particular contaminants, and clarifies the reaction mechanism by which ZVI degrades a chosen contaminant.

It also assesses how the ZVI-based technology may be applied in complex, natural systems,...
