SYSTEMS AND METHODS FOR TREATING WATER WITH IRON

摘要

Systems and associated methods for treating contaminant-containing wastewater are provided. The systems (1) generally include a reducing zone (10) for reducing the oxidation-reduction potential of the water and a clean-up zone (20) comprising zero valent iron for removing at least a portion of the contaminant from the contaminant-containing water. The systems are operable to remove one or more contaminants from the contaminant-containing water and are operable for extended durations without clogging due to the formation of iron hydroxides.
