In this study, nanoscale Fe0was immobilized in and on poly(vinyl alcohol) (PVA) microspheres by the inverse suspension crosslinked method. Two different sizes of Fe0/PVA microspheres were synthesized in the presence and absence of dispersant. The chelating action between Fe2+and PVA was identified by Fourier transform infrared and X-ray photoelectron spectroscopy. The morphology and distribution of the obtained Fe0/PVA microspheres were characterized by environmental scanning electron microscope, energy-dispersive X-ray spectrometry, and X-ray diffraction. Nanoscale Fe0particles were mostly dispersed over the surface of the microspheres. They were distributed more homogeneously on the surfaces of Fe0/PVA microspheres with diameter of 600–700μm than those with diameter of 10–12μm. The nitrobenzene (NB) reduction reactions followed pseudo-first-order kinetics. The normalized surface rate constants (kSA) values were determined to be 0.162Lh−1m−2for L-Fe0/PVA microspheres, 0.098Lh−1m−2for S-Fe0/PVA microspheres, and 0.023Lh−1m−2for nanoscale Fe0particles. Furthermore, with the analysis of the products by GC/MS, possible reductive pathways of NB by Fe0/PVA microspheres were suggested. The recovery rates of iron in microspheres were determined to be 81.17% for large Fe0/PVA and 60.31% for small Fe0/PVA.
