Abstract:

Nano zero-valent-iron (nZVI) composites are associated with defects such as easy agglomeration and difficulty in separation and recovery, which lead to declined degradation efficiency and reduced service life. The preparation methods of nZVI and the latest research results of nZVI based materials in the field of soil and water pollution control were introduced. The reaction principle of nZVI to remove pollutants was discussed and analyzed. The preparation methods and pollutant removal effects of nanofiber supported nZVI based materials such as membranes made from polyacrylic acid/polyvinyl alcohol (PVA) composite nanofiber, chitosan composite nanofiber, polyaniline nanofiber and carbon nanofiber were summarized respectively. The progress review revealed that the carrier material in the form of electrospun nanofibers can effectively inhibit the agglomeration of nZVI, improve the separation and recovery performance and broaden the practical application scope. Nanofibers are shown as a new effective carrier to load nZVI based materials for environmental remediation.

Key words: nano zero-valent-iron, redox, environmental remediation, nanofiber, nonmetallic mineral, electrospinning
