Abstract: Sulfidated nanoscale zerovalent iron (S-nZVI) is a new nZVI modified material with core-shell structure, and exhibits a higher reactivity towards various contaminants than nZVI. In this study, S-nZVI was synthesized by a two-step method. S-nZVI and nZVI were investigated by transmission electron microscope-energy dispersive X-ray spectroscopy (TEM-EDX), X-ray diffraction (XRD) and X-ray photoelectron spectroscopy (XPS). The effects of n(S)/n(Fe), initial pH, reagent dosage and groundwater chemical composition on Cr(Ⅵ) removal by nZVI and S-nZVI were evaluated. The results showed that S-nZVI has obvious core-shell structure, and the core of Fe0 is coated with amorphous ferrous sulfide and polysulfide. The optimum n(S)/n(Fe) was 0.14 for the reaction between S-nZVI and Cr(Ⅵ). The increased dosage of S-nZVI enhanced Cr(Ⅵ) removal efficiency. With the same dosage, the Cr (VI) removal efficiency by S-nZVI was significantly higher than that by nZVI. When pH increased, the Cr(Ⅵ) removal efficiency by both S-nZVI and nZVI decreased gradually. But the efficiency and removal rate by S-nZVI were always higher than by nZVI under the same pH. Especially at pH=5, S-nZVI removed 100% of Cr(Ⅵ), whereas nZVI removed 85%. K+, Na+, Ca2+, Mg2+, SO42-, NO3-, and Cl- promoted Cr(Ⅵ) removal by both S-nZVI and nZVI, but more effectively in S-nZVI system. The presence of HCO3- increased the solution pH, and thus inhibited Cr(Ⅵ) removal more stronger in nZVI than S-nZVI systems. S-nZVI shows a higher efficiency of Cr(Ⅵ) removal than nZVI under the influence of various pH and groundwater chemical components, so it has a broader application prospect.

Key words: Cr(Ⅵ), S-nZVI, n(S)/n(Fe), pH, chemical composition of ground water
