Abstract

For almost three decades, the engineered nanomaterials (ENMs) due to their reactivity, unique sorption, catalytic, electronic, optical and magnetic properties, have been the subject of extensive research. The results show that these materials can provide a new tool for the remediation of contaminated aquatic ecosystems (surface and groundwater), sediments, soils, military training grounds and waste recycling areas, including electronic waste. In-situ remediation technologies using composites containing metal nanoparticles, mainly zero-valent iron particles (n-ZVI) are becoming more common. The solutions disclosed in numerous publications and patent applications show their applicability, igher effectiveness and lower costs of remediation processes compared to the conventional methods.
