Abstract In recent years, carbon tetrachloride (CT) has been frequently detected in surface water and groundwater around the world; it is necessary to find an effective way to treat wastewater contaminated with it. In this study, Ni/Fe bimetallic nanoparticles were immobilized on reduced graphene oxide (NF@rGO), and used to dechlorinate CT in aqueous solution. Scanning electron microscopy (SEM) demonstrated that the two-dimensional structure of rGO could disperse nanoparticles commendably. The results of batch experiments showed that the 4N4F@rGO (Fe/GO = 4 wt./wt., and Ni/Fe = 4 wt.%) could reach a higher reduction capacity (143.2 mgCT/gcatalyst) compared with Ni/Fe bimetallic nanoparticles (91.7 mgCT/gcatalyst) and Fe0 nanoparticles (49.8 mgCT/gcatalyst) respectively. That benefited from the nickel metal as a co-catalyst, which could reduce the reaction activation energy of 6.59 kJ/mol, and rGO as an electrical conductivity supporting material could further reduce the reaction activation energy of 4.73 kJ/mol as presented in the conceptual model. More complete dechlorination products were generated with the use of 4N4F@rGO. Based on the above results, the reductive pathway of CT and the catalytic reaction mechanism have been discussed.

In this study, nanoscale zero-valent iron (nZVI) and nZVI/reduced graphene oxide (RGO-nZVI) nanocomposites were prepared, and the effect of nZVI, RGO-nZVI and graphene oxide (GO) on Indian marigold were examined by pot trials with contaminated soils amended with nanomaterials. The observed results show that 0.05% nZVI and 0.05% RGO-nZVI can wilt the Indian marigold, and they exhibit significant in situ mobility in fluvo-aquic soils. In this paper, the feasibility of improving the phytoremediation efficiency of contaminated soils by amending with nanomaterials is also discussed.
