“…Moreover, the immobilization carriers peanut shell biochar, 21 clay composite adsorbent, 23 high-density luffa sponge, 31 ZVI, 32 activated carbon, 12 herbal fruit residue biochar and spruce biochar, 33 sepiolite, 34 rice straw biochar, 35 and shell 36 can immobilize microorganisms to significantly improve the performance of Bio-PRBs. Various types of Bio-PRBs have been successfully developed for the remediation of groundwater and soil contaminated with atenolol, giferozil, and ciprofloxacin, 23 1,1,1-trichloroethane (1,1,1-TCA), 31 1,4-dioxane, 32 tetracycline (TC), 37 Cr(VI), 12 TCE, 33 Cu(II) and Ni(II), 34 nitrobenzene (NB), 35 2,4,6-trichlorophenol (2,4,6-TCP), 21 and V(V) 36 (Table 1). Furthermore, abiotic reactive materials, including zeolite, 38 clay minerals, 39 bimetal, 40 CaO 2 , 35 MgO 2 , 41 etc., have been shown to promote the removal of NB, 35 cesium-137 ( 137 Cs), 39 phosphorus, 40 and naphthalene and toluene 41 in Bio-PRBs.…”
