A method for pollutants using an iron-impregnated, carbon-coated silica
sand with the iron containing between to and 16 percent silicon. The
invention provides an improved method for performing remeditation of
pollutants by dissolved metal reactions while minimizing interferences
caused by oxide fouling from oxygen in the water or in the atmosphere. The
invention further provides an inexpensive media with high surface area for
adsorptive fixation and reductive treatment that yields higher than
anticipated reaction kinetics utilizing only low concentrations of iron in
the media.
