Reactivity of nZVI increased linearly with nZVI concentration above 10 g/L, but was non-linear below 10 g/L.
nZVI reactivity with PCE is more sensitive to solution redox potential than solution pH.
Mass transfer limits the reactivity of emplaced nZVI under typical groundwater flow velocity.
Lowering pH increases H2 evolution from nZVI more than reactivity with PCE.
Design of nZVI remediation strategies should consider mass loading and flow velocity on performance and lifetime.
