  "term": "Bimetallic Nanoscale Particle",
  "field": "Environment",
  "definition": "Particle which has been used to remediate contaminants in soil and groundwater. BNPs consist of particles of elemental iron or other metals in conjunction with a metal catalyst, such as platinum, gold, nickel, and palladium. This combination of metals increases the kinetics of the oxidation-reduction (redox) reaction, thereby catalyzing the reaction which degrades the contaminant.",
