Chemical Oxidation is a remediation technique that involves applying oxidizing agents to break down or neutralize contaminants in soil or groundwater. Common oxidizers include hydrogen peroxide and potassium permanganate. This method is effective for treating organic contaminants, such as petroleum hydrocarbons, and helps to reduce the concentration of pollutants to safe levels.
