Nanotechnology has a great potential for providing efficient,
cost-effective, and environmentally acceptable solutions to face
the increasing requirements on quality and quantity of fresh water
for industrial, agricultural, or human use. Iron nanomaterials,
either zerovalent iron (nZVI) or iron oxides (nFeOx), present key
physicochemical properties that make them particularly attractive
as contaminant removal agents for water and soil cleaning. The
large surface area of these nanoparticles imparts high sorption
capacity to them, along with the ability to be functionalized for
the enhancement of their affinity and selectivity. However, one of
the most important properties is the outstanding capacity to act as
redox-active materials, transforming the pollutants to less noxious
chemical species by either oxidation or reduction, such as
reduction of Cr(VI) to Cr(III) and dehalogenation of hydrocarbons.
This book focuses on the methods of preparation of iron
nanomaterials that can carry out contaminant removal processes and
the use of these nanoparticles for cleaning waters and soils. It
carefully explains the different aspects of the synthesis and
characterization of iron nanoparticles and methods to evaluate
their ability to remove contaminants, along with practical
deployment. It overviews the advantages and disadvantages of using
iron-based nanomaterials and presents a vision for the future of
this nanotechnology. While this is an easy-to-understand book for
beginners, it provides the latest updates to experts of this field.
It also opens a multidisciplinary scope for engineers, scientists,
and undergraduate and postgraduate students. Although there are a
number of books published on the subject of nanomaterials, not too
many of them are especially devoted to iron materials, which are
rather of low cost, are nontoxic, and can be prepared easily and
envisaged to be used in a large variety of applications. The
literature has scarce reviews on preparation of iron nanoparticles
from natural sources and lacks emphasis on the different processes,
such as adsorption, redox pathways, and ionic exchange, taking
place in the removal of different pollutants. Reports and
mechanisms on soil treatment are not commonly found in the
literature. This book opens a multidisciplinary scope for engineers
and scientists and also for undergraduate or postgraduate students.
