“…adsorption and/or precipitation of metal compounds by raising pH (Chlopecka and Adriano, 1996), such as Cr (Tadesse et al, 2006), As (Kundu and Gupta, 2008), Zn, Pb, Ni, Cd, Cu and Co (Gray et al, 2006;Hale et al, 2012). Nano-iron is also a suitable material for heavy metal contaminants for in situ remediation (Ponder et al, 2000) with high remediation efficiency of Zn(II) (Kržišnik et al, 2014), Cu (II), Cd (II), Cr(VI) and Pb(II) (Liu et al, 2013;Ponder et al, 2000;Xi et al, 2010), owing to their large surface area (Waychunas et al, 2005).…”
