Metric Options: Counts1 Year3 YearSelecting the 1-year or 3-year option will change the metrics count to percentiles, illustrating how an article or review compares to other articles or reviews within the selected time period in the same journal. Selecting the 1-year option compares the metrics against other articles/reviews that were also published in the same calendar year. Selecting the 3-year option compares the metrics against other articles/reviews that were also published in the same calendar year plus the two years prior.
Example: if you select the 1-year option for an article published in 2019 and a metric category shows 90%, that means that the article or review is performing better than 90% of the other articles/reviews published in that journal in 2019. If you select the 3-year option for the same article published in 2019 and the metric category shows 90%, that means that the article or review is performing better than 90% of the other articles/reviews published in that journal in 2019, 2018 and 2017.

Article Description
Nanoscale zero-valent iron (NZVI) is used to remediate contaminated groundwater plumes and contaminant source zones. The target contaminant concentration and groundwater solutes (NO, Cl , HCO, SO, and HPO) should affect the NZVI longevity and reactivity with target contaminants, but these effects are not well understood. This study evaluates the effect of trichloroethylene (TCE) concentration and common dissolved groundwater solutes on the rates of NZVI-promoted TCE dechlorination and H evolution in batch reactors. Both model systems and real groundwater are evaluated. The TCE reaction rate constant was unaffected by TCE concentration for [TCE] ≤0.46 mM and decreased by less than a factor of 2 for further increases in TCE concentration up to water saturation (8.4 mM). For [TCE] ≥ 0.46 mM, acetylene formation increased, and the total amount of H evolved at the end of the particle reactive lifetime decreased with increasing [TCE], indicating a higher Fe utilization efficiency for TCE dechlorination. Common groundwater anions (5mN) had a minor effect on H evolution but inhibited TCE reduction up to 7-fold in increasing order of Cl < SO < HCO < HPO. This order is consistent with their affinity to form complexes with iron oxide. Nitrate, a NZVI-reducible groundwater solute, present at 0.2 and 1 mN did not affect the rate of TCE reduction but increased acetylene production and decreased H evolution. NO present at > 3 mM slowed TCE dechlorination due to surface passivation. NO present at 5 mM stopped TCE dechlorination and H evolution after 3 days. Dissolved solutes accounted for the observed decrease of NZVI reactivity for TCE dechlorination in natural groundwater when the total organic content was small (< 1 mg/L). © 2007 American Chemical Society.
