With sufficient contact time, oxidants are capable of converting petroleum hydrocarbons (fuels, solvents, and pesticides) into carbon dioxide and water. In many cases, chemical oxidation is chosen when bioremediation is not effective due to limited microbial growth, contaminant characteristics, or site conditions. | | | Date Created: | 09 04 2008 | | | Agency ID: | | | | ISL ID: | 000000040289 Original UID: 20481 FIRST WORD: Chemical | |
