Environmental application of millimeter-scale sponge iron (s-Fe0) particles (II): The effect of surface copper
Abstract
Facile reduction reaction achieves decoration of Cu0 onto the surface of s-Fe0. The removal efficiency of RhB over Cu0–s-Fe0 was similar to that of Cu0–nZVI. Cu0–s-Fe0 can operate under mild condition with lower cost compared to nZVI. The reductive mechanism over Cu0–s-Fe0 under US condition is also elucidated.
