Improved longevity of nanoscale zero-valent iron with a magnesium hydroxide coating shell for the removal of Cr(VI) in sand columns

Nanoscale zero-valent iron (NZVI) has been engineered as an attractive tool for in-situ groundwater remediation. However, the poor mobility and aqueous corrosion of NZVI in the porous subsurface have hindered its practical applications. In this research, the NZVI surface was coated with a novel Mg(O...
