  • REMOVAL OF TARGETED CONSTITUENTS THROUGH THE USE OF REDUCTANTS/OXIDANTS COUPLED TO A MAGNETIC SEPARATOR
    Publication number: 20150191374
    Abstract: Methods and compositions for removing a targeted constituent from water are disclosed. The water including the targeted constituent may be transported into a reactor and the reactor may include a magnet and zero valent iron particles. The targeted constituent can chemically react with the zero valent iron particles and the particles may then be attracted to the magnet. The water may then pass out of the reactor free of the targeted constituent. Additionally, the zero valent iron particles may be regenerated and reused.
