Abstract Reduction by reduced iron minerals has recently received a great deal of attention as a potential pathway for the degradation of oxidized environmental contaminants, such as chlorinated solvents, nitroaromatics, and heavy metals. The ubiquitous presence of iron in the environment as both dissolved species and mineral-bearing phases (e.g. magnetite, iron silicates, and green rusts) suggests that reduction by iron may be a significant abiotic pathway in the natural attenuation of environmental contaminants. |
