Summary: In this study, the significance of biochar on the retention and release of silver nanoparticles (AgNPs) in packed sand with rough or smooth surfaces was investigated. The results showed that biochar reduced the transport of AgNPs in both rough and smooth sands, and a small amount of biochar significantly enhanced the retention of AgNPs. The presence of biochar also resulted in nonmonotonic retention of AgNPs, with higher retention in rough sand. This study highlights the importance of considering collector surface roughness in biochar amendment for immobilizing colloidal contaminants in soil or groundwater.

Summary: The mobility of nano zero-valent iron (nZVI) has a significant impact on its practical application in remediation of contaminated groundwater. This study introduces a novel research system to investigate the two-dimensional transport and retention behavior of colloids and solutes. The results show that the mobility of nZVI is enhanced after phosphate adsorption, posing a potential environmental risk. The migration of phosphate-loaded nZVI (PnZVI) is faster than methyl orange (MO) in the longitudinal direction and exhibits stronger longitudinal dispersion.

Summary: Green synthesized nano-zero-valent iron (GT-nZVI) has been shown to be an excellent material for in-situ soil remediation due to its stability and environmental friendliness. The transportability of GT-nZVI is affected by soil components (bacteria and phosphate), and phosphate can enhance the co-transport of GT-nZVI with bacteria at pH 6.0 but reduce its mobility at pH 8.0 due to cell-cell interactions. This study highlights the importance of considering surface property changes in complex environments for effective in-situ remediation.

Summary: The transport of Fe-0@p-SiO2 in saturated porous media is significantly influenced by media size, injection velocity, Fe-0 concentration, and ionic strength. Higher injection concentration and ionic strength result in decreased particle transport, while smaller media size leads to a lower effluent concentration of Fe-0@p-SiO2.

Summary: Novel porous cellulose/chitosan composite spheres loaded with nanoscale zero-valent iron (nZVI/PCSs) were fabricated for the removal of Cd (II) from aqueous solution and the remediation of Cd species in contaminated soil. The nZVI/PCSs showed improved dispersion and antioxidability compared to the pristine one, and demonstrated better adsorption capacity for Cd (II) according to Langmuir isotherm. In soil remediation tests, nZVI/PCSs significantly enhanced cadmium immobilization by converting most exchangeable Cd species to Fe-Mn oxides and organic matters.

Summary: Laboratory experiments showed that natural biofilms did not significantly affect the reactivity of zero valent iron nanoparticles towards tetrachloroethylene, but altered the nature of produced metabolites. Biofilm presence resulted in a higher release of ethene, while ethane was dominant in the absence of biofilm.

Summary: Research has shown that nanoscale zero-valent iron (nZVI) used to remediate polluted aquifers can cause stress to bacteria. This study aimed to investigate the physiological and transcriptomic response of the bacterium Pseudomonas putida NCTC 10936 to nZVI and dissolved iron obtained from nZVI suspension. The results revealed that dissolved iron had a stronger physiological effect than nZVI, activating genes related to oxidative stress responses, antioxidant activity, and metabolism, while downregulating genes associated with sensing external stimuli. Despite the stress caused by dissolved iron, cell viability was not affected.

Summary: nZVI treatment resulted in decreased soil pH value, redox potential, and Fe (II) content. It also significantly decreased the relative abundance of certain microbial communities related to carbon and nitrogen cycles. Additionally, nZVI treatment led to reduced grain yield and decreased protein content and essential nutrient levels in a dose-dependent manner. The metabolomics results indicated that nZVI interfered with the expression of lysine and glutathione by regulating antioxidant and protein synthesis pathways in rice.

Summary: The study found that the retention and migration of microplastics in porous media are influenced by their hydrodynamic size, with PS50 showing migration rates greater than 85% in all conditions, while PS500 often exhibits slower migration velocities and higher attachment efficiencies. The chemical properties of the solution have significant effects on the retention and transport of microplastics, consistent with the predictions of DLVO theory.

Summary: The study aimed to predict the optimal conditions for ultrasound extraction of Moringa oleifera leaves using the response surface method. A 15-minute extraction time, 100% ultrasonic amplitude, and 80% solid to solvent ratio were found to be the optimal values, resulting in increased extraction yield and phenolic/flavonoid content. This is the first study to assess the impact of US power, extraction time, and solid to solvent ratio on Moringa oleifera leaves in Iran.
