Roles of reactive iron mineral coatings in natural attenuation in redox transition zones preserved from a site with historical contamination

Han Hua et al.

Summary: This study developed a protocol to identify redox transition zones and investigated the impact of reactive iron coatings in these zones. Multiple analyses were used to reveal the importance of iron and sulfur cycling in the ongoing natural attenuation processes in redox transition zones. The active and sustainable attenuation of contaminants is expected in these zones, where reactive iron mineral coatings play a dominant role.

Dehalogenation of α-hexachlorocyclohexane by iron sulfide nanoparticles: Study of reaction mechanism with stable carbon isotopes and pH variations

Silviu-Laurentiu Badea et al.

Summary: This study investigated the carbon isotope fractionation of alpha-HCH during dechlorination by FeS nanoparticles at different pH values. The results showed that the apparent rate constants during dehalogenation of alpha-HCH by FeS increased with pH, with complete dechlorination only occurring at pH values 9.9 and 11.8. The study suggests that abiotic isotope fractionation by FeS must be considered in anoxic sediments and aquifers contaminated with HCH isomers.

A comprehensive assessment of the degradation of C1 and C2 chlorinated hydrocarbons by sulfidated nanoscale zerovalent iron

Yanyan Zhang et al.

Summary: The sulfidation of nanoscale zerovalent iron (S-nZVI) enhances the degradation efficiency of various chlorinated hydrocarbons (CHCs) in groundwater, with the most significant improvement observed for chlorinated ethenes. Under electron limited conditions, S-nZVI enables either higher or comparable maximum degradation quantity for all CHCs investigated, indicating its promise for remediating groundwater contaminated by CHC mixtures. Sulfidation suppresses the generation of partially dechlorinated products and favors degradation pathways leading to non-chlorinated benign products, providing valuable insight for the assessment of S-nZVI applicability and benefits in CHC remediation.
