Abstract
In situ chemical oxidation facilitates as a viable tool for the destruction of contaminants in soil and groundwater system. This method utilizes chemical oxidants to get oxidized/degrade/removal of target contaminants and occurs mineralization. Pesticides are an essential group of emerging pollutants due to their persistence and have the potential to impact human health and the environment. The chapter’s objective is to describe the insightful thoughts on activated persulfate oxidation (APO) to remediate the pesticide-contaminated soil and groundwater. APO methods have prevalent applications for soil and groundwater remediation because of the various reactions that are involved in degradation of environmental contaminants. Emphasis on mechanism of sulfate radical generation, its activation procedures, case study on pesticide (i.e., Aldrin) remediation, and challenges in filed applications are illustrated.
