%0 Journal article %A Noubactep, C. %T Comment on "Reductive dechlorination of gamma-hexachloro-cyclohexane using Fe-Pd bimetallic nanoparticles" by Nagpal et al. [J. Hazard. Mater. 175 (2010) 680-687]. %R 10.1016/j.jhazmat.2010.01.042 %R 10.23689/fidgeo-2534 %J Journal of hazardous materials %V 177 %N 1-3 %X The author used a recent article on lindane reductive dechlorination by Fe/Pd bimetallics to complain that dozen of published works in several journals are not conform to the state-of-the-art knowledge on the mechanism of aqueous contaminant removal by metallic iron (e.g. in Fe(0)/H(2)O systems). It is shown that the contribution of adsorbed Fe(II) to the process of contaminant reduction has been neglected while discussing the whole process of contaminant reduction in the presence of bimetallics. %U http://resolver.sub.uni-goettingen.de/purl?gldocs-11858/6847 %~ FID GEO-LEO e-docs
