Evaluating the Effectiveness of Nanotechnology in Environmental Remediation of a Highly Metal-Contaminated Area—Minas Gerais, Brazil
A column experiment at a laboratory level was carried out to assess the effect of the application of nanotechnology in the decontamination of soils and alluvial deposits with high levels of potentially toxic elements (PTEs). A suspension of zero-valent iron nanoparticles (nZVI) was injected at three...
