Abstract:
... Sodium percarbonate (SPC) is considered a potential alternative to liquid hydrogen peroxide (H₂O₂) in organic compounds contaminated water/soil remediation due to its regularly, transportable, economical, and eco-friendly features. The solid state of SPC makes it more suitable to remediate actual soil and water with a milder H₂O₂ release rate. Apart from its good oxidative capacity, alkaline SPC c ...
