Abstract: Aqueous nitrate (NO3-) contamination is an ubiquitous environmental problem because of the extensive application of the relevant chemicals;the remediation of water polluted by nitrate via economic and effective methods, evenly realizing complete harmlessness is crucial. Nanoscale zero-valent iron (nZVI) is a typical engineered nanomaterial that is potentially used in environmental remediation of nitrate pollution. In this paper, based on the application and development of nZVI technology in nitrate reduction, the prior studies mainly focus on the following:(1) improving its synthesis method or combining with other remediation techniques to improve its efficiency in in-situ remediation and enhance its resilience towards high concentration nitrate wastewater;(2) investigating the effects of environmental conditions including temperature, dissolved oxygen, solution pH, and competitive coexisting ions, to guide its practical applications. Although nZVI technology possesses remarkable potential in NO3-conversion, some difficulties remain, especially the short lifetime, limited mass transfer and adsorption capacity, and low selectivity towards nitrogen as a final product. These hinder the large-scale practical application of the technology. Therefore, functionalized nZVI-based materials, upon suitable modification, have gradually become promising substitutes for bare nZVI. Herein, these modified materials are classified into three types, namely the supported, bimetallic, and the surface-modification system, especially emphasizing their advantages as compared with bare nZVI and revealing its promotion mechanism and factors affecting nitrate reduction energy efficiency. Finally, the existing problems to be addressed are identified, and future objectives and research areas worthy of exploration in the field of nZVI-based remediation technology are proposed.
