Zero-valent iron (ZVI) technology has been widely used in wastewater treatment due to its high efficiency and economy. The recent research on ZVI was divided into two major directions:one is to explore the modification of ZVI, including its particle size, internal structure change, and the combination of ZVI and other metals; the other is to study the mechanism of ZVI removing different contaminants, including the reducibility of ZVI, adsorption precipitation of the FeOOH, ZVI promoted Fenton reaction, etc. This paper firstly summarized the recent advances of ZVI-based water treatment methods including sponge iron, nZVI, doping of ZVI with other metals (micro-electrolysis method), combination of ZVI with Fenton-based oxidation. Then, the reaction mechanism of the above methods for removing heavy metals, arsenic, nitrates, dyes and phenol was discussed, and it was pointed out that ZVI materials have appreciable removal efficiency for several types of pollutants. Finally, the future perspectives regarding the application of ZVI in treating wastewater was proposed.
