1. Long-term Effect of Metallic Iron Sorbents on Arsenic Mobility in an Anoxic Aquifer : An assessment based on long-term column experiments
University essay from SLU/Dept. of Soil and EnvironmentAbstract : Zero valent iron (ZVI) sorbents have successfully remediated soils burdened with different groups of contaminants. When working to alleviate arsenic (As) contamination, the location-specific subsurface chemistry greatly affects the efficiency of the sorbents as it controls the speciation of As and the transformation of the ZVI, as well as the interaction between these (remediating mechanisms).

2. Chemical Stabilization of Arsenic in Contaminated Soil under Low Redox Conditions
University essay from Luleå tekniska universitet/Institutionen för samhällsbyggnad och naturresurserAbstract : Remediation techniques for arsenic contaminated soil have previously focused mostly on the surface soil layers where aerobic conditions are prevalent. In this master thesis, chemical stabilization by adding zero-valent iron (Fe(0)) and calcium oxide (CaO) to an arsenic-contaminated soil under low redox conditions have been studied through up-flow percolation tests.

3. Remediation of Contaminated Groundwater Using a SpinChem® Rotating Bed Reactor : Competitive Sorption of Metal(loid)s in Complex Solutions under Varying Geochemical Conditions
University essay from Luleå tekniska universitet/Geovetenskap och miljöteknikAbstract : The potential of utilizing a new form of chemical processing technology called SpinChem® Rotating Bed Reactor (RBR), in combination with different reactive materials, for the purpose of remediating multi-contaminated aquifers under changing environmental conditions, was investigated using laboratory studies and geochemical models. Four different reactive materials, or combinations thereof, were tested: heat-treated peat powder combined with zero-valent iron (ZVI); IronPeat, which consists of peat powder coated with a ferriferous hydrosol (FFH); and a powdered steel waste product.

4. Remediation of metal contaminated soils : evaluation of long-term effects of zero-valent iron amendments
University essay from SLU/Dept. of Soil and EnvironmentAbstract : The efficiency of contaminant stabilization in soil treated with zero-valent iron (ZVI) should be evaluated in long-term experiments, as stabilization techniques do not decrease total metal concentration. With time, properties of soil can change and iron hydroxides can crystalize, what can lead to a release of contaminants. READ MORE
