In-situ nanoremediation means dealing with contaminates inside the porous matrix of aquifers using nanoparticles. A successful nanoremediation hence requires optimization of several fields of science and engineering such as synthesis and colloidal chemistry, hydro(geo)logy, environmental toxicology, and reactive transport. In this work, the authors studied the interactions of these fields with focus on steps and criteria required for optimization and upscaling a nanoremediation action from laboratory results to real field-scale application. Combining batch studies, transport experiments and reactive modeling, a field-scale remediation action was designed and carried out, and results were assessed against the laboratory predictions.
