Conventional methods (e.g., bioremediation and zerovalent iron (ZVI)) for in situ remediation of chlorinated organic solvents may produce undesirable by-products and the use of nanoscale bimetallic particles has succeeded in eliminating some of these by-products. Palladium nanoparticles (PdNPs), bimetallic particles, ZVI particles with various oxidants, reductants, and nutrients have been shown ...
