The main aim of this study was to investigate the effect of a nano zero-valent iron-modified biochar-amended composite riverbed (nZVI@BC-R) on inhibited infiltration and enhanced biodegradation of fluoroglucocorticoids (FGCs) in a river receiving reclaimed water. The results demonstrated that the removal efficiency of triamcinolone acetonide (TA), a representative FGC, increased from 38.40% and 77.91% to 91.60% in the nZVI@BC-R compared with that of a natural soil riverbed (S-R) and biochar-amended soil riverbed (BC-R). The main removal mechanismwas attributedto adsorption and biodegradation, of which the contribution rates were 32.2% and 59.4% in nZVI@BC-R, 18.9% and 19.5% in S-R, and 24.4% and 53.5% in BC-R, respectively. The removal process could be described by a two-compartment, first-order dynamic model with decay rate constants for adsorption and biodegradation of 4.02700, 22.44400, and 29.07300 d-1 and 0.00286, 0.01562, and 0.03484 d-1 in the S-R, BC-R and nZVI@BC-R, respectively. The mechanism of defluorination accounted for 42.2% of biodegradation in the nZVI@BC-R, which was accompanied by side-chain rupture, oxidation, and ringopening. Functional microbes with iron oxidizing ability and reductive dehalogenating genera, namely Pseudoxanthomonas, Pedobacter, and Bosea, contributed to the high removal rate of TA, particularly in the nZVI@BC-R. Overall, the nZVI@BC-R provided an effective method to inhibit glucocorticoids infiltration into groundwater.
