Key Points

This research aims to assess how different copper salts and synthesis procedures affect the performance of coppered nanoscale zero-valent iron particles in dechlorination processes.
Utilized various Cu(II) salts for synthesizing Cu–nZVI particles.
Assessed Cu loading and synthesis methods in their effects on particle reactivity.
Conducted experiments focusing on dechlorination of trichloroethylene.
Cu–nZVI particle reactivity varies significantly with different Cu(II) salts.
Higher Cu loading enhances dechlorination efficiency of trichloroethylene.
Optimized synthesis conditions lead to improved particle architecture and reactivity.

Implication

Explores dechlorination efficiency using coppered nanoparticles, suggesting optimized synthesis conditions boost performance.

Abstract

The performance of Cu–nZVI particles in the dechlorination of trichloroethylene depends on the Cu( ii ) salt used for their synthesis, the Cu loading, and synthesis procedure.
