Application


  • Enhanced Chromium (VI) Removal by Micron-Scale Zero-Valent Iron Pretreated with Aluminum Chloride under Aerobic Conditions.: This research focused on the use of aluminum chloride hexahydrate in the pretreatment of micron-scale zero-valent iron for the removal of chromium (VI) under aerobic conditions. The findings indicate that aluminum chloride hexahydrate significantly improves the removal efficiency, providing a potential solution for environmental remediation efforts (Long et al., 2024).
