Abstract

nanoscale iron particles were essentially suspended in solution. Therefore slow transport or diffusion of chlorinated methanes to the settled Aldrich iron surfaces may have caused the slow reaction for the commercial grade iron particles. A major advantage of the nanoscale particles for treatment of CT is the low yield of DCM. Yield of DCM was merely 55% with the nanoscale
