In a comparison of modified nanoscale zero-valent iron (NZVI), bare NZVI used to remediate deep contaminated groundwater source areas has more advantages. However, the influence of injected bare NZVI deposition on the permeability of aquifer remains unclear, together with which are still the key factors of engineering cost and contamination removal. Hence, this study sought to assess a method of measuring hydraulic conductivity with a constant head device and to examine the permeability loss mechanism of NZVI injected into different saturated porous media, using column tests. The results showed that it was feasible to determine hydraulic conductivity by the constant head device. The permeability loss caused by NZVI injection increased with a decrease in the grain size of the porous media, and was determined by the amount and distribution of NZVI deposition. The NZVI distribution area had a good linear correlation with dispersivity of the porous media. Additionally, although surface clogging occurred in all porous media, the amount of NZVI deposition at the injection point was largest in fine sand, so that its permeability loss was the most; this was more likely to cause hydraulic fracturing and expand the area of the contaminant source zone. These results have implications for NZVI field injection for successful groundwater remediation.
