Dual Oxidant System for In Situ Treatment of Organic Contaminants

Jin, Yuyi (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 ...
Persulfate Persistence and Treatability of Gasoline Compounds

Sra, Kanwartej Singh (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 ...
Realistic expectations for the treatment of FMGP residuals by chemical oxidants

Shafieiyoun, Saeid; Thomson, Neil R.; Brey, Andrew P.; Gasinski, Chris M.; Pence, William; Marley, Mike (Elsevier, 2018-12-01)

Methods to remediate soil and groundwater contamination at former manufactured gas plant (FMGP) sites are scarce. The objective of this study was to investigate the ability of two chemical oxidants (persulfate and permanganate) ...
