The corrosion of zero-valent iron (Fe0(s)) by oxygen (O2) can lead to the oxidation of organic compounds. To gain insight into the reaction mechanism and to assess the nature of the oxidant, the oxidation of methanol, ethanol, 2-propanol, and benzoic acid by the reaction of nanoparticulate zero-valent iron (nZVI) or ferrous iron (Fe[II]) with O2 in the absence of ligands was studied. At pH valu...

Chloroform, a probable human carcinogen, is mainly produced anthropogenically for industrial use and may be released to the environment from large number of sources related its manufacture use, including pulp paper mills, hazardous waste sites, sanitary landfills. Remediation chloroform through conventional technologies has been met with limited success due conditions required formation substan...

Abstract The widespread use of antibiotics has resulted in the emergence multidrug-resistant bacteria. Therefore, it is essential to explore alternative strategies effectively combat medically significant resistant pathogens. In recent years, nanoparticles (NPs) have emerged as a promising source antimicrobial agents. While nanoscale particles were traditionally synthesized using chemical techn...
