The alkylation of complexes 2 and 7 with Grignard reagents containing β-hydrogen atoms is a process of considerable relevance for the understanding of C-H activation as well as C-C bond formation mediated by low-valent iron species. Specifically, reaction of 2 with EtMgBr under an ethylene atmosphere affords the bis-ethylene complex 1 which is an active precatalyst for prototype [2+2+2] cycload...

Objective(s): Nowadays, examining the toxicity of nanoparticles including the synthesized and functionalized iron nanoparticles using methods like green synthesis is highly considered, due to their increasing usage in various fields of medicine, biology, industrial, and pollution removal. Hence, in this study, the toxicity of the zero valent iron nanoparticles synthesized by plant-Myrtus commun...

This paper describes the results of the first field-scale demonstration conducted to evaluate the performance of nanoscale emulsified zero-valent iron (EZVI) injected into the saturated zone to enhance in situ dehalogenation of dense, nonaqueous phase liquids (DNAPLs) containing trichloroethene (TCE). EZVI is an innovative and emerging remediation technology. EZVI is a surfactant-stabilized, bi...

BACKGROUND In a world of nanotechnology, the first concern is the potential environmental impact of nanoparticles. An efficient way to estimate nanotoxicity is to monitor the responses of bacteria exposed to these particles. OBJECTIVES The current study explored the antimicrobial properties of nZVI (zero-valent Iron nanoparticles) on the Gram-negative bacterial systems Erwinia amylovora, Xant...

Permeable reactive barriers (PRBs) composed of zero-valent iron (ZVI) are susceptible to passivation, resulting in substantially decreased rates of chlorinated solvent removal over time. In this study, the application of low electrical direct current (DC) to restore the reductive capacity of passivated ZVI was examined. Electrical current was applied to a laboratory column reactor filled with a...

Several synthesis routes have been developed and correlations between the variables of procedure physicochemical properties nanoporous silica materials MCM-48 type deposited by template method in presence a low-valent iron (II) cation investigated. Changes structure mesoporous framework, its textural degree energy inhomogeneity surface were studied depending on Fe/Si molar ratio, pH values (4 9...

Groundwater resources are an essential component of global water resources. Long-term consumption groundwater exceeding the standard levels for iron and manganese can lead to chronic diseases, posing a threat human health. The Sanjiang Plain is largest swamp wetland area in China has high groundwater, but cause still needs be clarified. Based on results quality tests 41 samples Eastern Plain, t...

Granular zero-valent iron (ZVI) has been widely used to construct permeable reactive barriers (PRB) for the in situ remediation of groundwater contaminated with halogenated hydrocarbons. In the anaerobic condition of most groundwater flow systems, iron undergoes corrosion by water and results in hydrogen gas generation. Several studies have shown that some of the hydrogen gas generated at the i...
