High-salinity industrial wastewater (e.g., from pickling, pharmaceuticals, and chemical industries) poses significant challenges to conventional activated sludge processes (Tan et al., 2019) due to its osmotic stress on microbial cells, leading to inhibited metabolic activity, cell lysis, and poor nitrogen removal efficiency (Kartal et al., 2006; Khatibi, 2019; Zhu et al., 2015).

Contamination of soil and groundwater with hydrophobic organic compounds (HOCs) has become a global challenge [1], [2], [3], [4]. Trichloroethylene (TCE) is one of the most representative HOCs at contaminated sites. It has been included in the list of priority pollutants in several countries and regions owing to its high toxicity and resistance to degradation [5], [6], [7], [8], [9]. nZVI is cost-effective and environmentally compatible [10], [11], [12], [13].
