It has been demonstrated that ZVI can effectively remove selenium from water through a combination of adsorption, surface complexation, and reduction processes [[9], [10], [11]]. Nanoscale zero-valent iron (NZVI) as one of the most effective ways has been used to further enhance the removal of selenium, owing to its elevated specific …
1. Introduction. Selenium (Se: atomic number 34) is an ubiquitous element ranking 69th in abundance in the earth's crust and is considered to be both an essential, and a potentially toxic, element dependent on its concentration in water (Janz, 2011, Pommier et al., 2019).For example, Se is an essential micronutrient for vegetation and …
