CHEMICAL OXIDATION: PERMANGANATE
ISOTEC’s permanganate process utilizes either potassium permanganate (KMnO4) or sodium permanganate (NaMnO4) for in-situ chemical oxidation (ISCO). The reaction mechanism associated with both reagents is similar and particularly effective at treating aqueous concentrations of chlorinated ethenes (PCE, TCE and daughter products) in environmental remediation projects. ISOTEC’s permanganate-based reagents are designed as standalone technologies and are also used in combination with other ISOTEC reagents (e.g. modified Fenton’s and persulfate reagents). The reaction mechanism associated with our permanganate process is shown below:
