The duration of in-situ generation of iron corrosion products (FeCPs) prior the remediation process (so called ´´aging´´ of metallic iron (Fe-0)), was found as the key parameter affecting the efficiency of Fe-0 for water remediation. Batch experiments were performed in buffered solutions (pH 4.0, 4.7 and 5.5) and under oxic conditions (presence of dissolved oxygen) using Zn2+ as probe contaminant. The time-dependent (0-16 d) concentration changes of aqueous Fe2+ and Zn2+ were monitored using differential pulse polarography (DPP). During the time of pre-corrosion varying from 0 to 6 d, an ´´induction period´´ of the corrosion occurs in the first one 2 h when no Fe2+ ion is released in the solution. After this period, Fe2+ was identified in solution and its concentration progressively increases up to 6 h, then starts to decrease and after 6 d nearly disappears. Experiments with Zn2+ reveal that the most efficient Fe-0 remediation occurs after 6 h of pre-corrosion. This coherence thus proves that the presence, the amount and the age of FeCPs (´´degree´´ of corrosion) significantly impact the removal efficiency of Zn2+ in Fe-0/H2O systems. The present study severely refute the wording 'reactivity loss' and states that progress in designing sustainable Fe-0/H2O systems will not be achieved before the role of ´´active´´ FeCPs is clarified.
