The iron and nickel bimetallic nanoparticles supported by the block copolymer polystyrene-block-poly (acrylic acid) (PS-b-
PAA
-nZVI-Ni) were synthesized successfully and were applied to assess the degradation of
1,1,1-trichloroethane
(1,1,1-TCA) in water. An optimal dose of Ni loading was 2 wt%, while an optimal mass ratio of PS-b-
PAA
to Ni/Fe, i.e., 0.5:1, at which the dechlorination efficiency was a maximum. The size of PS-b-
PAA
-nZVI-Ni nanoparticles (average size ~ 50 nm) was three times smaller than that of nZVI-Ni due to the prevention of agglomeration of the resultant zerovalent iron nanoparticles by PS-b-
PAA
. In the applying aspect, the pseudo-first-order rate constant (K
obs
) of 1,1,1-TCA removal by PS-b-
PAA
-nZVI-Ni was 0.0142 min
-1
within 240 min, which was approximately five times higher than nZVI. Meanwhile, PS-b-
PAA
-supported nZVI-Ni nanoparticles penetrated much deeper in quartz sand columns than nZVI-Ni nanoparticles, indicating PS-b-
PAA
had significant influence on nZVI transport. The findings from this study suggested that PS-b-
PAA
-nZVI-Ni, with its high reactivity, selective screening for 1,1,1-TCA, could be one significant potential for use as remedial agent to treat chlorinated solvents in water.
