The present study investigates the propensity of Fuller’s Earth, a diatomaceous earth that is cheap and abundant in several locations whose application is yet to be fully ventured, and Fuller’s Earth-Immobilized Nanoscale Zero Valent Iron in removing heavy metal contaminants, particularly Pb2+ and Cu2+ , from aqueous solutions through adsorption method. FE-nZVI were synthesized through the borohydride reduction method and subsequently characterized through SEM, FTIR, and XRD. The SEM analysis shows an increase in the agglomeration of the nZVI on the immobilized Fullers’ Earth with an increase in the loading of Fe0. Tests were conducted on various samples in order to determine the effect of three parameters on the efficiency of the adsorbent which includes the initial concentration of the heavy metal, adsorbent dosage and pH with respect to time. The results show that the FE-nZVI can be used as a new adsorbent for the sole application of heavy metal remediation in aqueous systems due to its efficiency in removing the contaminants that would allow individuals to conform to the stringent requirements dictated by environmental laws.

AbstractChromium (Cr) is a common toxic heavy metal that is widely used in all kinds of industries, causing a series of environmental problems. Nanoscale zero- valent iron (nZVI) is considered to be an ideal remediation material for contaminated soil, especially for heavy metal pollutants. As a material of low toxicity and good activity, nZVI has been widely applied in the in situ remediation of soil hexavalent chromium (Cr(vi)) with mobility and toxicity in recent years. In this paper, some current technologies for the preparation of nZVI are summarized and the remediation mechanism of Cr(vi)-contaminated soil is proposed. Five classified modified nZVI materials are introduced and their remediation processes in Cr(vi)-contaminated soil are summarized. Key factors affecting the remediation of Cr(vi)-contaminated soil by nZVI are studied. Interaction mechanisms between nZVI-based materials and Cr(vi) are explored. This study provides a comprehensive review of the nZVI materials for the remediation of Cr(vi)-contaminated soil, which is conducive to reducing soil pollution.
