This research is about a novel ultrasound assisted method for synthesis of nano zero valent iron particles (NZVI). The materials were characterized using TEM, FESEM, XRD, BET and acoustic PSA. The effect of ultrasonic power, precursor/reductant concentration (NaBH4, FeSO4 center dot 7H(2)O) and delivery rate of NaBH4 on NZVI characteristics were investigated. Under high ultrasonic power the morphology of nano particles changed from spherical type to plate and needle type. Also, when high precursor/reductant and high ultrasonic power was used the particle size of NZVI decreased. The surface area of NZVI particles synthesized by ultrasonic method was increased when compared by the other method. From the XRD patterns it was found also the crystallinity of particles was poor.
