…technologies include the use of nanoscale zero-valent iron (NZVI) particles as a field-deployable means of remediating organochlorine compounds, such as polychlorinated biphenyls (PCBs), in the environment. NZVI particles are able to permeate into rock layers in the ground and thus can neutralize the reactivity of organochlorines in deep aquifers. Other…
