APLICAÇÕES AMBIENTAIS DE PERSULFATO: REMEDIAÇÃO DE ÁGUAS SUBTERRÂNEAS E SOLOS CONTAMINADOS

ENVIRONMENTAL APPLICATIONS OF PERSULFATE: REMEDIATION CONTAMINATED GROUNDWATER AND SOILS. Environmental remediation represents a major technological challenge due to the complexity of environmental matrices and high treatment cost. In recent years, in situ chemical oxidation technologies (ISCO) have shown good cost/benefit ratio, which as favored their use degradation several relevant pollutants. this context, persulfate-mediated processes are importance once persulfate can be activated situ, promoting formation highly oxidative radical species. Persulfate-based treatments been frequently reported studies because they guarantee effective pollutants without producing significant changes remediated matrix. Given these statements, study aims discuss main ways activating applications groundwater soils contaminated with resistant organic
