Evaluation of persulfate for the treatment of manufactured gas plant residuals
(University of Waterloo, 2013-02-01)The presence of coal tars in the subsurface associated with former manufactured gas plants (MGPs) offers a remediation challenge due to their complex chemical composition, dissolution behaviour and recalcitrant characteristics. ... -
In-situ chemical oxidation of chlorendic acid by persulfate: Elucidation of the roles of adsorption and oxidation on chlorendic acid removal
(Elsevier, 2019-10-15)The oxidation of chlorendic acid (CA), a polychlorinated recalcitrant contaminant, by heat-, mineral-, and base-activated persulfate was investigated. In pH 3–12 homogeneous (i.e., solid-free) solutions, CA was oxidized ... -
Iron Nanoparticles for In Situ Chemical Oxidation
(University of Waterloo, 2013-08-09)Recently, metal nanoparticles have attracted the attention of researchers in several fields of study due to their high surface area and other unique properties. Using metal nanoparticles as a component of an in situ ... -
Remediation of Weathered Light Nonaqueous Phase Liquids by Persulfate: In-Situ Performance Assessment and Numerical Modeling
(University of Waterloo, 2021-08-25)Light nonaqueous phase liquids (LNAPLs) petroleum hydrocarbons (PHCs) subsurface contamination is complex and poses considerable risks to human health and the environment. The PHC contaminated sites are often difficult to ...
