  • Publication number: 20100232883
    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.

  • Publication number: 20100209194
    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.
