Abstract: A process for making a reduced size oxidant particle is provided. The process forms reduced sized oxidant particles by feeding a coating material and oxidant particles of an initial size into a mill. The coating material may be oleophilic, hydrophobic, siliphilic, hydrocarbon soluble, or a combination thereof. The oxidant particles are then milled, reducing the particle size of the oxidant particles. During the milling step, the coating coats a substantial portion of each reduced sized oxidant particle reducing reagglomeration during the milling step. Optionally, the oxidant particles produced by the process of the instant invention are encapsulated. Alternatively or additionally, the oxidant particles may be placed in suspension. An outermost encapsulant may be substantially non-reacting, impermeable and non-dissolving with water. The oxidant particles formed by the process of the present invention may be placed directly into or in the path of the contaminant(s) in the environmental media to be treated.

Abstract: A WEM-based method for deep resource detection using sky waves refers to the technical field of deep resource detection. The proposed method of deep detection using sky waves improves the traditional “atmospheric-lithosphere” half-space propagation theory into a full-space “sky wave” theory of “ionosphere-atmosphere-rock layer”, that is, the influence of the ionosphere and the displacement current in the air are taken into consideration to obtain a new precise expression of “sky wave” response, which is suitable for full space, slow attenuation and long distance propagation. A receiving device for sky wave signal has been developed. Through theoretical model calculation and actual data measurement, it is known that it is possible to use the sky wave for detection within the scope of China's national territory to realize the high-precision electrical structural exploration within a depth of 10 kilometers and open a new era of artificial source electromagnetic detection.
