TY - JOUR A1 - Noubactep, C. T1 - On the Validity of Specific Rate Constants (kSA) in Fe0/H2O Systems Y1 - 2008 VL - 164 IS - 2-3 SP - 835 EP - 837 JF - Journal of Hazardous Materials DO - 10.1016/j.jhazmat.2008.08.074 DO - 10.23689/fidgeo-2607 N2 - The validity of the specific reaction rate constants (k(SA)) in modelling contaminant removal in Fe-0/H2O systems is questioned. It is shown that the current k(SA)-model does not consider the large reactive surface area provided by the in-situ formed oxide film, and thus the adsorptive interactions between contaminants and film materials. Furthermore, neither the dynamic nature of film formation nor the fact that the Fe-0 surface is shielded by the film is considered. Suggestions are made how the k(SA)-model could be further developed to meet its original goal. UR - http://resolver.sub.uni-goettingen.de/purl?gldocs-11858/6920 ER -
