Abstract: Abstract This study has evaluated the efficiency of zero-valent iron nanoparticles (nZVI) for the remediation of soil and groundwater containing 2,4,6-trinitrotoluene (TNT), 1,3,5-trinitroperhydro-1,3,5-triazine (RDX), and 1,3,5,7-tetranitro-1,3,5,7-tetrazocane (HMX). It was conducted via different treatment methods (batch… read more here.
