Chemical Oxidants for the Remediation of Organic Soil Pollutants

Throse three steps are: • laboratory studies for selecting an effective method and suitable processing parameters; • an upscaled pilot experiment for checking the efficiency and for validating the method; • the large scale operation under realistic field conditions. This project compared different oxidation methods for their usability to degrade crude oil contaminations of soil. The works of this study were on the level of the first two steps, including a pilot experiment in 200 l-containers. As laboratory batch experiments, oxidations with hydrogen peroxide, Fenton's reagent, permanganate, persulfate and ozone were performed with different soil types and different degrees of contamination.
