In this study, green tea extract-synthesized nanoscale zero-valent iron/nickel (GT-nZVI/Ni) was used to remediate Cr(VI) contaminated soil columns. The optimal conditions for the suspension, as well as the factors influencing its effectiveness, were investigated. The addition of Na+ and Ca2+ promoted the immobilization of Cr(VI) in soil, while humic acid weakened this process. Injection of GT-nZVI/Ni resulted in a significant reduction of weak acid extractable and reduced chromium, thereby reducing the toxic hazard of hexavalent chromium in the soil.
In this work, green tea extracts synthesized nanoscale zero-valent iron/nickel (GT-nZVI/Ni) was prepared and the Cr(VI) contaminated soil column was remediated by GT-nZVI/Ni suspension. The influence factors including the concentration, pH value and flow rate of GT-nZVI/Ni suspension were studied. Under the conditions of pH = 4, concentration of 0.15 g/L and flow rate of 1.25 mL/h, GT-nZVI/Ni suspension had the best reduction and immobilization effect on Cr(VI) in the soil column. Na+ and Ca2+ can promote the immobilization of Cr (VI) in soil, while humic acid weakened the immobilization of Cr (VI). After GT-nZVI/Ni is injected into the soil column, the content of weak acid extractable and reduced chromium is significantly reduced, and the toxic hazard of hexavalent chromium in the soil is greatly reduced. The 1D-CDE model was used to fit the breakthrough curves of Fe(tot), Fe(aq) and Fe(0), and the migration of GT-nZVI/Ni in Cr(VI) contaminated soil was simulated and predicted. Compared with the inert solute Cl-, the breakthrough curves of Fe (tot), Fe (aq) and Fe (0) in Cr (VI) contaminated soil column were significantly lagged, with delay coefficients of 2.465, 2.322 and 3.288, respec-tively. The reaction of GT-nZVI/Ni with Cr (VI) led to the decrease of Fe mobility. Finally, the outflow concentration of Fe (tot) was 0.064 g/L, and the loss was mainly due to reaction and retention in the soil. About 57.89% of GT-nZVI/Ni was retained in the soil.
