Advances on Chemical Oxidants for Remediation of Ground Water Contaminated With Petrolem Hydrocarbon Products

Abstract

This review highlights the various chemical oxidants used for chemical oxidation remediation of ground water contaminated with all manner of petroleum hydrocarbon products. The oxidants include: hydrogen peroxide/Fenton‟s reagent, sodium per sulphate, permanganates, potassium ferrioxalate, RegenoX TMand Zero valent iron. Application of this oxidants as well as their advantages and disadvantages are discussed.
