Presently, the rapid pace in the discovery of emerging aquatic pollutants is increasing the demand for the remediation and treatment of our natural resources. Regarding this, nanotechnology is being considered the potential solution for contaminated water remediation with techniques such as filtration, adsorption, catalysis, and desalination. For this purpose, zerovalent iron (ZVI) is being widely used in the remediation of environmental pollutants due to its large specific surface area and high reactivity. However, ZVI is easy to agglomerate and oxidize, limiting its application in the real environment. Therefore, the present study was designed to discuss the preparation and characterization methods of ZVI composite materials, factors affecting adsorption, the removal effect, and adsorption mechanism of different pollutants by Fe–C materials because the optimization and modification of nano-zero-valent iron is a hot research topic nowadays in this field. Moreover, this paper does also analyze the possibility of the practical application prospects of the team’s technology for preparing iron-carbon materials. Thus, this information will be helpful for the development and application of Fe–C-based technologies for water and soil remediation and the prediction of the future research direction of Fe–C composite materials.
