A method of producing a composition containing a metal peroxide capable of enhancing microbial degradation of contaminants in soil and groundwater, said method comprising:
- reacting a metal oxide or metal hydroxide with hydrogen peroxide in a solution of water containing a reaction moderator, intercalation agent, and a gelling agent;
- wherein the metal oxide or metal hydroxide is present in an amount from about 20% to about 30% by weight, the hydrogen peroxide is present in an amount from about 10% to about 15% by weight, the reaction moderator is present in an amount from about 0.5% to about 5% by weight, the intercalation agent is present in an amount from about 0.5% to about 5% by weight, the gelling agent is present in an amount from about 1% to about 20% by weight, and the water is present in an amount from about 40% to about 70% by weight.
A method of producing a composition containing a metal peroxide capable of enhancing microbial degradation of contaminants in soil and groundwater, said method comprising:
- reacting a metal oxide or metal hydroxide with hydrogen peroxide in a solution of water containing a reaction moderator to form a first solution;
- mixing the first solution with a gelling agent;
- wherein the composition includes the metal oxide or metal hydroxide is present in an amount from about 20% to about 30% by weight, the hydrogen peroxide is present in an amount from about 10% to about 15% by weight, the reaction moderator is present in an amount from about 0.5% to about 5% by weight, the gelling agent is present in an amount from about 1% to about 20% by weight, and the water is present in an amount from about 40% to about 70% by weight.
