Abstract
Knowledge of the consumption of permanganate by naturally occurring reduced species associated with aquifer materials is required for site screening and design purposes to support permanganate in situ chemical oxidation (ISCO) applications. It has been established that this consumption is not a singled-valued quantity, but rather is kinetically controlled. Current methods to determine this permanganate natural oxidant demand (NOD) involve the use of well-mixed batch tests, which are time consuming and subject to test variables (e.g., concentration, mass of oxidant to solid ratio, reaction duration, and mixing conditions) that significantly affect the results. In this paper, we propose a modified chemical oxygen demand (COD) test using permanganate, which can be used to determine the maximum permanganate NOD of an aquifer material. As an initial point of comparison, we tested aquifer materials collected from eight potential ISCO sites using this modified or permanganate COD method, the traditional dichroma...
