Abstract: The present disclosure relates to use of rhamnolipid coated nanoparticles of zero valent iron (NZVI), either in its bare form or functionalized with other materials (M) such as trace amounts of a palladium catalyst, for transforming chlorinated solvent pollutants by targeting the non-aqueous phase, which contains said chlorinated solvent pollutants. The method may be useful as water treatment technology for restoration of groundwater resources contaminated with toxic, chlorinated solvent pollutants as well as in the treatment of industrial waste of chlorinated solvents in reactor systems.
