Abstract: A contaminated medium (such as soil and/or groundwater) contaminated with petrogenic and/or other organic contaminants such as petroleum hydrocarbons, light non-aqueous phase liquids (NAPLs), dense non-aqueous phase liquids (DNAPLs), persistent organic pollutants (i.e. sulfolane), chlorinated compounds, and volatile organic compounds, can be mixed with enhanced stimulators and be thermally remediated. The enhanced stimulators are heat induced to undergo exothermic reactions, which initiate a series of in-situ chemical reactions to such as to produce hydrogen gas. The hydrogen gas causes hydrocracking of heavy hydrocarbons to produce light hydrocarbons which can be recovered such as for future use.

Abstract: Methods for remediation of contaminated soil are provided including spraying blended hydrogen peroxide solution onto excavated and laid out soil on the ground and mixing or blending them concurrently by a specialized tractor that is equipped with an oxidant tank in the front and, a spray nozzle system and a reversely rotating soil mulching device in the rear so as to optimize soil moisture content for efficient oxidative reaction and reduced remediation timeframe.
