Iron nanoparticles based nanofluids for in situ environmental remediation

The injection of nanoscale zerovalent iron particles (nZVI) suspensions in the ground is a technology employed for in situ water and soil remediation. Due to its nature, nZVI forming these nanofluids (NFs), tend to agglomerate, but this can be overcome by polyelectrolyte coatings, that also improve...
