The creation and development of nanosized materials have brought important and promising techniques into the field of environmental remediation of chlorinated organics. Extensive studies have been reported on the degradation of toxic chlorinated organics (such as trichloroethylene and polychlorinated biphenyls) with non-immobilized Fe⁰ based bulk/nanoparticles. Work involving reductive dechlorination ...
