Catalyzed persulfate: Advancing in situ chemical oxidation (ISCO) technology

Chemical oxidation has been a widely practiced remediation strategy to achieve rapid reductions of organic contaminants in groundwater, soils, and other environmental media. Persulfate, an oxidant used in environmental remediation, has historically been activated using the co-application of additional chemicals that are often costly to apply and can present a significant safety hazard on-site. PersulfOx, an all-in-one chemical product, promises to lower the cost and improve the safety of persulfate-based remediation projects by employing both alkaline activation and an advanced catalyst system. © 2013 REGENESIS Bioremediation Products.
