Article Abstract
The zero-valent iron permeable reactive barrier (ZVI-PRB) is a promising technology for in-situ groundwater remediation. However, its long-term performance often declined due to the blocked reactive sites by corrosion products and by interference of co-existing solutes. In order to address these issues, a pillared bentonite (Al-bent) was homogeneously mixed with ZVI for removing selenate (Se(VI)) from simulated groundwater in column experiments. The Se(VI) removal was enhanced because first Al-bent could facilitate the mass transfer of Se(VI) from solution to iron surface and accelerate Se(VI) reduction. XANES analysis indicated that Se(VI) was almost completely reduced to Se(0) and Se(-II) of less toxicity and solubility by the ZVI/Al-bent mixture, and the buffering effect of Al-bent could maintain the pH at a lower level that favored the Se(VI) removal. Besides, Al-bent could transfer the corrosion products away from iron surface, leading to the enhanced reactivity and longevity of ZVI. The inhibition on reactivity towards Se(VI) in both the single ZVI and the ZVI/Al-bent systems increased in the order of Cl(-)

The removal of toxic selenium (Se) and arsenic (As) from sulfate-rich wastewater is challenging due to competition between sulfate ions and these contaminants. This study presents a simple, one-step method for creating an effective adsorbent. Unlike traditional methods that require separate chemical modifications, our approach includes the introduction of sodium carbonate, simultaneously forming Fe(OH) and cross-linking the alginate, while generating a porous structure by introducing sodium carbonate.

Microalgae serve as effective carriers for selenium enrichment and accumulation within aquatic ecosystems. They possess the ability to convert inorganic selenium into organic forms, primarily selenium-containing amino acids and proteins, thereby playing a crucial role in transferring selenium through the food chain. However, the mechanisms underlying marine microalgae's responses to selenite (Se) and selenate (Se) remain unclear.

We proposed a sustainable selenate (Se(VI)) removal method using in situ layered double hydroxide (LDH) formation and calcined magnesium precipitate (CMP) derived from an electrochlorination facility. During kinetic experiments, the optimal removal conditions were identified by adjusting pH and Al dosage, which enabled a notable Se(VI) removal efficiency (127 mg/g-CMP). The initial release of Mg ions from CMP was confirmed to occur via Al-ion hydrolysis.

As a global environmental pollutant, many studies have focused on the removal of hexavalent chromium [Cr(VI)] from industrial wastewater, using organic materials as adsorbents. This study investigated the potential of the black soldier fly (BSF) for the bioremediation of the Cr-adsorbing/containing wheat bran as an adsorbent and antagonistic effects of selenate [Se(VI)] on Cr accumulation/transformation by the BSF. Our results indicate the BSF could tolerate Cr/Se toxicity without exhibiting significant morphological changes.

Selenium (Se) contamination is widespread, and Se(VI) removal from water is particularly challenging. This study evaluated Se(VI) removal using iron electrocoagulation (EC) in a flow-through reactor under various water chemistry and operating conditions. Effective Se(VI) removal (>98% from 1000 μg/L Se) was achieved under anoxic conditions with an iron dose as low as 30 mg/L and an EC reactor residence time as short as 11 s that was followed by a 1-h settling period.
