Abstract This study investigated removal mechanisms, thermodynamics, and interferences of phosphorus adsorption onto nanoscale zero-valent iron (nZVI)/activated carbon composite. Activated was successfully used as support for nZVI particles to overcome shortcomings using include its tendency aggregate separation difficulties. A comprehensive characterization done the composite particles, which ...

Abstract Biochar supported nanoscale zero-valent iron (NZVI/BC), prepared commonly by liquid reduction using sodium borohydride (NaBH 4 ), exhibits better performance for contaminants than bare NZVI. The reducing ability was attributed to attachment of (NZVI) on biochar (BC) surface or into the interior pores BC particles due observations scanning electron microscopy (SEM) and plan transmission...

An investigation was initiated to examine the effects of nanoscale titanium dioxide particles on plant growth and development. In view of the widespread cultivation of canola in Iran and in other parts of the globe and in view of the potential influence of titanium on its growth, this plant was chosen as the model system. Canola seeds were separately treated with different concentrations of nan...
