KLOZUR® KP is an extended release in situ chemical oxidation (ISCO) reagent comprised of environmental grade potassium persulfate. When properly dosed, the limited solubility of potassium persulfate results in the oxidant being released into groundwater over an extended period of time providing an ideal sustained concentration of persulfate in the subsurface. KLOZUR® KP can be utilized for a number of applications not traditionally thought of for chemical oxidation. These are applications that would benefit from KLOZUR® KP’s solubility limited extended release including permeable reactive barriers (PRBs), treatment of lower permeable soils and contaminated groundwater plumes. KLOZUR® persulfate can be activated using Evonik’s patented technologies to form the powerful oxidative (SO4- •, OH•) and reductive radicals (O2- •) that aggressively treat targeted contaminants. With proper activation, KLOZUR® KP provides a powerful multi-radical attack for the effective destruction of recalcitrant compounds including chlorinated ethenes (TCE, PCE, DCE, and vinyl chloride), chlorinated ethanes (TCA and DCA), chlorinated methanes (carbon tetrachloride), BTEX, MTBE, polyaromatic hydrocarbons (PAHs), petroleum hydrocarbons (TPHs, GRO, DRO), 1,4-dioxane, and pesticides. KLOZUR® KP’s unique solubility limited extended release make it best suited for treating aqueous phase contaminants such as MTBE, vinyl chloride, BTEX, 1,4-dioxane, and many other compounds that are primarily in the aqueous phase or low permeable material.
THE SOUND SCIENCE OF KLOZUR® ACTIVATED PERSULFATE
KLOZUR® activated persulfate has a long history of documented success. Site and laboratory data prove successful treatment of some of the most recalcitrant compounds, such as chlorinated ethanes, and emerging contaminants, such as 1,4-dioxane.
