Abstract

Nanofine zero−valent iron (nZVI) is a new, eco−friendly material with strong reducing and adsorbent properties that can be used to clean up heavy metal−affected soils. Herein, nZVI encapsulated with carboxymethyl cellulose (CMC−nZVI) is synthesized via an aqueous−phase reduction technique and subsequently deployed to evaluate its effectiveness in Cr(VI) soil remediation. The characterization analysis used SEM−EDS, XRD, XPS, and LSV to determine the relevant properties of the material. The results show that at an initial Cr(VI) concentration of 169.5 mg·kg −1 , 93.2% of Cr(VI) was removed from the soil after 10 h of treatment with CMC−nZVI at pH 3.3. The kinetic analysis showed that CMC−nZVI had the maximum equilibrium adsorption capacity for removing Cr(VI) from soil at 105.3 mg·g −1 . This followed a pseudo−second−order kinetic model. The study shows that CMC−nZVI converts Cr(VI) to Cr(III), which forms complexes with Fe(III) ions in the presence of hydroxide ions (OH − ) to form a highly stable compound that eventually adsorbs into the nanomaterial’s surface for efficient removal.
