ABSTRACT
The development of sustainable technologies for efficient nitrate removal has attracted increasing attention, because excessive nitrate emissions can result in serious environmental, economic, and health effects. Herein, we propose to utilize FeSiBC metallic glass (MG) powders as a potential solution for nitrate removal. In terms of removal efficiency and reusability, our results show that the MG powders, as special zero-valent iron carriers, are 2-3 orders of magnitude more efficient in nitrate removal than the previous studies, while maintaining more than 50% nitrate removal efficiency after 9 cycles of reaction. Moreover, the optimal FeSiBC MG dosage, pH value, and temperature for nitrate removal are determined. The mechanism of nitrate removal is also revealed. The present study offers a promising approach to remediate nitrate, one of the world's most widespread water pollutants.
