Abstract

Abstract: Since nanoscale iron particles and iron-containing nanomaterias are very effective for the transformation and detoxification of a wide variety of common environmental contaminants such as toxic metal ions, halogenated organic compounds and so on, they have been under active research in the field of environment remediation. Due to their large surface areas, high surface reactivity and application flexibility, they provide effective solutions to some of the most challenging environmental cleanup problems. In this paper, the progress of iron-containing nanomaterials and its various applications for recent years were summarized. Meanwhile, their potential microbial toxicity was also assessed, which can be a guide for further study in this research field.

Key words: nanoscale zero-valent iron, surface modification, solid support, bimetallic system,toxicity
