Abstract: Methods of decreasing the amount of one or more contaminants in contaminated soil comprise introducing polymer-coated nanoparticles into the contaminated soil, optionally with other reagents. The polymer-coated nanoparticles exhibit an enhanced ability to migrate through the soil and provide greater control of the rate of activation of other chemicals, such as oxidants, in the contaminated soil.
Abstract: A system for soil, groundwater, or surface water remediation, comprises a water supply including a first fluid stream in fluid communication with a first injection point, and a second fluid stream in fluid communication with a second injection point. A first surfactant pump can be adapted to inject a surfactant into the first fluid stream, and a second surfactant pump can be adapted to inject a surfactant into the second fluid stream. A first oxidant pump can be adapted to inject an oxidant into the first fluid stream, and a second oxidant pump can be adapted to inject an oxidant into the second fluid stream.
