3 Aerobic Uncertain Anaerobic Number of Records Year of Publication Figure S1. Chronology of research papers on treatment of dye contaminated water using zerovalent iron. Data compiled from multiple sources (Web of Science, Elsevier Science Direct, ACS Publications). The search term dyes returned mostly azo dyes, but also other dye types (anthraquinone, disperse, indicator, etc.), and all are included. Search terms for zerovalent iron (ZVI, Fe(), etc.) returned some papers that only involved iron oxides, so the latter were removed from the results. The intersection of these sets gave the 162 papers included in Figure S1. This group was then classified by whether the experiments were performed under aerobic or anaerobic conditions by analysis of the abstract and methods sections of each manuscript. It is noteworthy that a significant number of papers were classified as uncertain because they did not provide sufficient information to determine if the conditions were aerobic or anaerobic. Unfortunately, the proportion of papers in this category appears to have increased in the recent years, but this trend is likely to be reversed in the future as appreciation of the effects of oxygenation becomes more widespread. 1/1/16 S3

4 Properties of Beijing Iron The zerovalent iron used in this study was obtained from Beijing Enviro-Chem Environmental Technology Co., Ltd. (Beijing, P.R. China). It was selected because it has been used in recent, field-scale applications of ZVI for groundwater remediation in China. This material is manufactured by water atomization, ground with a Raymond mill, and annealed under H 2. The resulting product has nominal purity = 9% and d 5 = 3.1 µm. We further characterized this material by scanning electron microscopy (SEM) with energydispersive X-ray spectroscopy (EDS). The native material (Figure S2A) consists of irregular, roughly-spherical ~2 µm discrete particles, similar to the morphology that has been reported previously for ZVI prepared by the water atomization process. 1 The EDS on this sample detected only Fe and O (Figure S3A). The specific surface area measured by BET N 2 gas adsorption was.342 m 2 /g. After 3 min exposure of this ZVI to the reaction medium (containing Orange I) with WMF, the particle surfaces showed pitting and increased roughness (Figure S2B), C and N were detected on the iron surface by EDS (Figure S3B). Sulfidation of the ZVI increased the surface roughness and S become evident in the EDS (Figure S2C, Figure S4E), both of which are consistent with deposition of a fresh layer of iron sulfides, and the SSA increased to 2.17 m 2 /g. This is similar to what has been seen in other studies of ZVI sulfidation. 2, 3 Exposure of sulfidated ZVI to the reaction medium caused less-uniform surface features to form and left both C, N, and S on the surface (Figure S2D, Figure S3D). 1/1/16 S4

Conditions: ph = 7, Orange I C = 1 mg/l, Fe/FeO = 2 g/l, RPM = 4, T = 25 C. 1 Orange I and the reaction product were analyzed by HPLC-MS (Thermo Ultimate 3) equipped with a C18 column (15 mm 2.1 mm, 3 µm particles, Atlantis). The mobile phase was a mixture of water (.1% formic acid) and methanol at a flow rate of.2 ml/min. The methanol (v/v, %) gradient program was applied: -6 min (1%), 6-8 min (9%), and 8-1 min (1%). The injection volume was 5 µl. The negative ion mode was adopted in MS analysis, and the mass spectrometer was equipped with an ESI ion source. The temperature of drying gas was 35 C, and the flow rate of drying gas was 12 L/min. 1/1/16 S11

Dissolved oxygen sag curves (A) Fe/FeO WMF, (B) Fe/FeS WMF, (C) Fe/FeO +WMF, and (D) Fe/FeS +WMF for varying levels of Orange I exposure (indicated in the legend). The respike experiments (blue asterisks) involved adjustment of the Orange I concentration back to the initial concentration of 1 mg/l on 3 min intervals, so these experiments resulted in the largest Orange I exposure levels. Passivation of the iron is indicated by the rebound of dissolved oxygen toward saturation. The dissolved oxygen rebound appears to be independent of Orange I exposure level thereby supporting our modeling hypothesis that passivation is driven by reaction of the iron surface with dissolved oxygen rather than with Orange I. 1/1/16 S14
