Abstract

Research on the use of metallic iron (Fe 0 ) for environmental remediation and water treatment has taken off during the past three decades. The results achieved have established filtration on Fe 0 packed beds as an efficient technology for water remediation at several scales. However, the further development of Fe 0 -based filtration systems is impaired by the non-professional behavior of scientists who ignore available advances in knowledge. The confusion is overcome when due consideration is given to the fact that revealing state-of-the-art knowledge is a prerequisite to presenting individual achievements.
