Iron nanoparticles (nZVI) stand out in environmental remediation due to their high reactivity. However, they have low chemical stability when exposed to oxygen and water, reducing their effectiveness. The objective of this work was to develop and validate a method to evaluate the efficiency of nZVI from synthetic lots L01 and L02, from the degradation of dyes, orange and methyl violet (MO and MV). The previous degradation tests provided the best results for MO (~100% degradation, 12 min reaction, 0.5 g L-1 dose). The optimization using Factorial Planning obtained the optimal condition, CMO = 5.98 mol L-1 and DnZVI = 0.56 g L-1. The Boltzmann model fitted the results obtained (R2 = 0.993). Finally, a mathematical relationship was obtained that provided equivalent doses of L01 and L02 in relation to the Standard. The applied mathematical adjustments presented R²> 0.99 and errors <4%.
scite is a Brooklyn-based organization that helps researchers better discover and understand research articles through Smart Citations–citations that display the context of the citation and describe whether the article provides supporting or contrasting evidence. scite is used by students and researchers from around the world and is funded in part by the National Science Foundation and the National Institute on Drug Abuse of the National Institutes of Health.
