Permeable reactive barrier (PRB) is a well-known technology for in situ
subsurface remediation as it is capable of treating large contaminant plumes
cost-effectively. Zero-valent iron (ZVI) is a reactive material that has been
extensively used in PRB as it is inexpensive and suitable for treating various
kinds of contaminants, e.g., hydrocarbons and heavy metals. Despite the
facts that ZVI–PRB has been utilized in groundwater remediation technology
for more than two decades, the complex mechanisms that occur in the
treatment process need further studies. One of the significant issues that
need to be addressed, which is intimately related to the hydrodynamic of ZVI–PRB, is the rate of mineral precipitation and, permeability/porosity reduction
within the PRB. [Continues.]
