Dual Oxidant System for In Situ Treatment of Organic Contaminants
(University of Waterloo, 2017-05-01)Recently, the potential catalytic properties of manganese dioxide have attracted attention as a means to activate persulfate. This focus of this research was on the potential ability of MnO2(s) solids synthesized through ... -
The Effectiveness of Persulfate and Hydrogen Peroxide on the Oxidation of Hydrocarbon Contaminants at 30°C: A Study with Focus on the Performance of Compound Specific Isotope Analysis
(University of Waterloo, 2018-07-05)Two oxidants, persulfate and hydrogen peroxide, were used to investigate the effectiveness of in-situ chemical oxidation (ISCO) on target contaminants (sourced from industrial wastewater) in saline and high-temperature ... -
The Effectiveness of Persulfate in the Oxidation of Petroleum Contaminants in Saline Environment at Elevated Groundwater Temperature
(University of Waterloo, 2011-12-08)In the past few decades, several aqueous oxidants have been employed (e.g., permanganate, persulfate) to remediate petroleum hydrocarbons. However, the majority of the research in this field has been focused primarily on ... -
Persulfate Persistence and Treatability of Gasoline Compounds
(University of Waterloo, 2010-08-06)Petroleum hydrocarbons (PHCs) such as gasoline are ubiquitous organic compounds present at contaminated sites throughout the world. Accidental spills and leakage from underground storage tanks results in the formation of ...
