Abstract

Concerns about water pollution keep growing locally and around the world in regards the advanced
industries and related all life aspects health. Every day, the industries activity ends in depositing
contaminants into a water source or connected aqua systems. The contamination is getting widely
distributed, so the demand for cost-effective, efficient, and advanced system for water pollution
remediation is needed as traditional remediation processes were relatively weak. Nano zero valent iron
synthesized by sodium borohydride has an outstanding reactivity and abundancy. It has a great surface
area to volume ratio with strong reactivity. Recently, the potential reducing property of nano-scale zero
valent iron, NZVI, has attracted much more attention and many studies used NZVI for the reduction of
organic and inorganic contaminants in aquatic environment. It can also be used for the remediation of
groundwater and removal of heavy metals from industrial wastes. Therefore, it is synthesized in current
paper and characterized by BET, XRD, and IR spectroscopic technologies.
