Increasing Evidence Suggests Nanoscale Zerovalent Iron Effective for Removal of Arsenic from Contaminated Water

Increasing evidence suggests that nanoscale zerovalent iron (nZVI) is effective for the removal of arsenic from contaminated water, but the immobilization mechanism is unclear. In particular, the existence of As(0) on the nanoparticle surface has been proposed but not substantiated in prior studies.
