Zusammenfassung:•Pb(II) removal capacity of nZVI was greatly influenced by nitrate.•Nitrate reduction led to the formation and deformation of Pb-containing ferrite.•ORP can indicate the transformation of nZVI particles and related redox processes.•Shortening reaction time or adding fresh nZVI can reduce the negative effects of nitrate. Nanoscale zerovalent iron (nZVI) is efficient for removing Pb2+ and nitrate from water. However, the influence of nitrate, a common groundwater anion, on Pb2+ removal by nZVI is not well understood. In this study, we showed that under excess Fe0 conditions (molar ratio of Fe0/nitrate>4), Pb2+ ions were immobilized more quickly (
