Abstract: A zero-valent metal polymeric complex supporter (ZVM-PCS) is disclosed. PCS possesses porous surface and internal coralloid-like channel structure that can accommodate high amount of iron-containing materials and derivatives thereof. The surface pore size, porosity, hydrophilicity and internal coralloid-like channel structure of PCS can be tailored through the manufacturing process, with which PCS can be functioned as a regulator for the releasing of produced hydrogen, and also control the adsorption and reactions toward heavy metals and chlorinated volatile organic compounds in water. The released hydrogen from the ZVM-PCS can be applied to anaerobic bioremediation. Moreover, the ZVM-PCS can be developed as the filter materials that can be installed in a column or any storage for water and wastewater treatment, or even in a groundwater cut-off barrier for the cleanup of contamination.
Abstract: A polymeric complex supporter for controlling oxygen-released compounds (PCS-ORCs) and a method for manufacturing the same is disclosed. PCS possesses a porous surface and internal coralloid-like channel structure that can accommodate ORCs with a high ratio (up to 92 wt %) to polymers. In applications, the PCS-ORCs can be shaped as various types and be coupled with other solids that could be used as delivery tools. As PCS-ORCs is delivered into a water-containing environment, water molecules can diffuse into the internal channels through the surface pores and then react with ORCs. Due to the tunable structure properties of PCS, the produced oxygen can be release out through the surface pores for one to six months long. In comparison with powder-type ORCs, PCS-ORCs can exhibit better application potentials in terms of time-release technology, oxygen delivery and environmental responsibility.
