Nanoscale palladized iron (Pd/Fe) bimetallic particles were prepared by reductive deposition method. The particles were
characterized by X-ray di raction (XRD), X-ray fluorescence (XRF), scanning electron microscope (SEM), transmission electron
microscope (TEM), and Brunauer-Emmett-Teller-nitrogen (BET-N2) method. Data obtained from those methods indicated that
nanoscale Pd/Fe bimetallic particles contained -Fe0. Detected Pd to Fe ratio by weight (Pd/Fe ratio) was close to theoretical value.
Spherical granules with diameter of 47 11.5 nm connected with one another to form chains and the chains composed nanoscale Pd/Fe
bimetallic particles. Specific surface area of particles was 51 m2/g. The factors, such as species of reductants, Pd/Fe ratio, dose of
nanoscale Pd/Fe bimetallic particles added into solutions, solution initial pH, and a variety of solvents were studied. Dechlorination
e ect of monochloroacetic acid by di erent reductants followed the trend: nanoscale Pd/Fe bimetallic particles of 0.182% Pd/Fe
> nanoscale Fe > reductive Fe. When the Pd/Fe ratio was lower than 0.083%, increasing Pd/Fe ratio would increase dechlorination
e ciency (DE) of MCAA. When the Pd/Fe ratio was higher than 0.083%, increasing Pd/Fe ratio caused a decrease in DE. Adding more
nanoscale Pd/Fe bimetallic particles to solution would enhance DE. The DE of MCAA decreased as initial pH of solution increased.
