Abstract/OtherAbstract:
|
Lindane, has been classified by the United States Environment Protection Agency as a potent carcinogen and teratogen. Zero-valent iron nanoparticles (nZVI) have been shown to effectively transform chlorinated hydrocarbons, organochlorine pesticides. An attempt has been made to explore the potential of nZVI for the remediation of Lindane contaminated soil. nZVI was synthesized by reducing FeCl3 with NaBH4. Lindane (10 microg/g) completely disappeared from spiked soil within 24 hours at nZVI concentration of 1.6 g/L, indicating its possible use in environmental cleanup. Reductive dehalogenation is the predominant mechanism for the removal of Lindane from spiked soil by nZVI. Dechlorination was further confirmed by the chloride ion release. |
