Nano zero valent iron/Ni bimetal materials (nZVI/Ni) were prepared by borohydride reduction method to remediate toxic Cr(Ⅵ) contaminated in soil leachate. nZVI/Ni was characterized using scanning electron microscopy (SEM), X-ray diffraction (XRD) and X-ray Photoelectron Spectroscopy (XPS). Different factors including pH value of soil leachate, reaction time, temperature, humic acid and coexisting anions (SO42-, NO3−, HCO3−, CO32-) were studied to analyze the reduction rate. Results showed that the reduction rate of Cr(Ⅵ) could reach 99.84% under the condition of pH of 5 and temperature of 303 K. pH values and temperature of soil leachate had a significant effect on the reduction efficiency, while humic acid had inhibition effect for the reduction reaction. SO42-, HCO3− and CO32- had inhibition effect for reduction rate, while NO3− barely influenced the reduction process of nZVI/Ni. Moreover, Langumir-Hinshelwood first order kinetic model was studied and could describe the reduction process well. The thermodynamic studies indicated that the reaction process was endothermic and spontaneous. Activation energy was 143.80 kJ mol−1, showing that the reaction occurred easily. Therefore, the study provides an idea for nZVI/Ni further research and practical application of nZVI/Ni in soil remediation.
