In this paper, we present and discuss the results from the first field demonstration of the hybrid zero-valent iron (hZVI) technology for removing selenium (Se), mercury (Hg), and nitrate from the flue-gas-desulfurization (FGD) wastewater of a coal-fired power plant. By hybridizing zero-valent iron with magnetite and Fe(II) species, the hZVI technology creates a self-sustaining highly-reactive mixture that can achieve rapid reduction, transformation, immobilization and mineralization of various heavy metals, oxyanions and other impurities from aqueous streams in a near-neutral pH environment. The hZVI technology was demonstrated in a 5-week continuous-flow field test conducted on a 30-I fluidized bed system at a power plant. The prototype consistently reduced Hg from ca. 50 to
