- Title
Temperature-Activated Auto-Decomposition Reactions: An Under-Utilized In Situ Remediation Solution.
- Authors
Suthersan, Suthan; Horst, John; Klemmer, Mark; Malone, Don
- Abstract
The remediation industry has witnessed multiple innovations arising from a greater understanding of the physical, chemical, and biological processes that control the fate and transport of chemicals in the subsurface environment. In addition, increasing emphasis is being placed on remediation solutions that are greener, simpler, and more resource efficient. The positive impacts that can be derived from this emphasis include reduced energy consumption, reduced waste emissions, and lower costs. Temperature-activated auto-decomposition reactions represent a potentially underutilized option for the in situ remediation of certain organic contaminants, and an option that can be both highly effective and greener than other available technologies.
