Description for Nanotechnology for Environmental Remediation
Hardback. Examines the suitability of nanoscale Zero-Valent Iron (ZVI) for degradation of agrochemicals for the purpose of developing treatment technology. This book 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. Series: Modern Inorganic Chemistry. Num Pages: 165 pages, biography. BIC Classification: TBN; TQS. Category: (P) Professional & Vocational. Dimension: 234 x 156 x 11. Weight in Grams: 432.
The book covers the recently discovered oxidative process driven by zero-valent iron (ZVI) in the presence of oxygen and a further developed system which is named ZEA (Zero-valent iron, EDTA, Air). Future potential applications for en- ronmentalremediationusingthisprocessarealsodiscussed. Theoxidativeprocess wasdiscoveredduringthecourseofmolinate(athiocarbamateherbicide)degra- tion experiments. Both ferrous iron and superoxide (or, at pH < 4. 8, hydroperoxy) radicals appear to be generated on corrosion of the ZVI with resultant production of strongly oxidizing entities capable of degrading the trace contaminant.
