This study fabricated novel heteroaggregates of montmorillonite (Mt) microparticles with nanoscale zero-valent iron (nZVI) (Mt-nZVI) and examined the removal of Cr(VI) by the Mt-nZVI through batch experiments. Spherical nZVI particles were synthesized by the liquid phase reduction method, which were then attached on the flat Mt surfaces in monolayer. The fabricated Mt-nZVI had similar removal efficiency for Cr(VI) compared to the monodispersed nZVI particles, but was much greater than that of nZVI aggregates. The removal efficiency of Mt-nZVI increased with decreasing its dosage and increasing initial Cr(VI) concentration, whereas had insignificant change with solution pH. The removal of Cr(VI) by Mt-nZVI was well described by the pseudo second-order kinetics and the Langmuir equilibrium model. The removal was spontaneous and exothermic, which was mainly due to chemsorption rather than intra-particle diffusion according to calculation of change in free energy and enthalpy and Weber-Morris model simulations. X-ray diffraction and X-ray photoelectron spectroscopy analysis revealed that the adsorption was likely due to reduction of Cr(VI) to Cr(III) by Fe(0) and co-precipitation in the form of oxide-hydroxide of Fe(III) and Cr(III). The fabricated Mt-nZVI showed the promise for in-situ soil remediation due to both high removal efficiency and great mobility in porous media.
