- Using Potassium Permanganate in Remediation
Both potassium permanganate and sodium permanganate are well-suited for many remediation applications as they do not require activation, are applicable over a wide pH range, and their presence is easy to detect in monitoring wells. In situ chemical oxidation (ISCO) using permanganates is a proven remediation technology that is safe and cost-effective. The active oxidant is the permanganate anion (MnO4-), a strong oxidant which can persist and react with COCs several months after injections are complete.
