A large-scale field trial was conducted at a metal-contaminated site to evaluate the effectiveness of permeable reactive barrier (PRB) containing zerovalent iron (ZVI) grit for remediating groundwater with high concentration and mineralization metals. The work based on laboratory investigations, which indicated that only economically viable solution. An extensive network monitoring wells used observe before after PRB installation, focusing on: (i) metal mass discharge using passive flux samplers; (ii) impact microbiota; (iii) capture material characterization scanning electron microscopy. Seven months installation PRB, average fluxes Zn, Pb, Ni in outflow decreased by 82%, 72%, 79%, respectively, compared concentrations installation. Mn increased approximately 67% due dissolution oxides, gradually declined over time following treatment did not cause any apparent harmful side effects present microbiota. Results indicate this setup might also be appropriate other locations dealing mineralization, though leaching should further investigated.
