Removal of hexavalent chromium from wastewater by Cu/Fe bimetallic nanoparticles

Abstract Passivation of nanoscale zerovalent iron hinders its efficiency in water treatment, and loading another catalytic metal has been found to improve the efficiency significantly. In this study, Cu/Fe bimetallic nanoparticles were prepared by liquid-phase chemical reduction for removal of hexav...
