Mississippi State University researchers develop an efficient method for heavy metal removal using biochar and nanoscale zero-valent iron.

Nano-zero valent iron is a highly efficient substance for removing antibiotics from water. This capacity stems from the remarkable features of nZVI, which include high reactivity, a big surface area, ...

Kinetic and Mechanism Study of PFOS Removal by Microscale Zero-Valent Iron from Water. Environmental Science & Technology, 2025; 59 (12): 6297 DOI: 10.1021/acs.est.4c12301 ...

However, in the wastewater industry, iron powder — in scientific terms called microscale zero-valent iron or mZVI — is also used to remove contaminants from the effluent. “Iron powder is commonly used ...
