KLOZUR® persulfate is a high-purity, environmentally safe product that is used as an in situ chemical oxidation (ISCO) technology for the treatment of a wide range of contaminants of concern in soil and groundwater around the world.Get a detailed overview of extended-release potassium persulfate, including the theory behind extended-release, recommended dosage, and potential applications.

This document presents the results from corrosion studies using persulfate and activated persulfate remediation solutions and provides guidance regarding potential materials of compatibility. As KLOZUR® persulfate is a very strong oxidant, and its solutions may become very acidic (pH ≤2), persulfate solutions may result in a corrosive environment for many metals and materials.

Methyl-tert-butyl ether (MTBE) and tert-butyl alcohol (TBA) are environmental contaminants of concern that have been widely used as fuel oxygenates and octane boosters. Activated KLOZUR® persulfate is an effective remediation treatment technology that has been successfully used to treat MTBE and TBA.

This bulletin covers the basic safety precautions for the handling, use and storage of KLOZUR® persulfate. KLOZUR® sodium persulfate is a stable, highly soluble, crystalline material, which upon activation is capable of oxidizing a broad range of recalcitrant compounds. 

We provide guidance on the use of KLOZUR® KP, such as on field applications, slurry preparation, tank and pump recommendations, health and safety information, injection of the product, soil mixing, application methods, laboratory and pilot scale testing, storage and handling.

We present strategies and guidelines for soil mixing and in situ stabilization based on case studies and successfully treated contaminated sites, combining ISCO with ISS, stabilizing agents such as calcium hydroxide, various laboratory-scale tests, and monitoring programs to understand progress toward final remediation. 

KLOZUR® KP is part of our persulfate-based oxidizers and is typically applied by soil mixing, injection or backfilling to establish contact between the activated persulfate and the contaminants of concern.

Drew Baird and Chapman Ross from FRx and Brant Smith from Evonik present the use of controlled hydraulic fracturing to produce KLOZUR® KP slurry. 

Dr. Brant Smith presents KLOZUR® KP persulfate, which is based on environmental grade potassium persulfate characterized by low solubility. He discusses results based on specific testing of KP vs. SP in batch reactors, solution limited release, field implementations, dynamic solubility release systems, and various persulfate residual studies, soil and groundwater treatment studies, effluent persulfate concentration, potential applications, and implementation approaches. 

Since its introduction in 2016, KLOZUR® KP has been bench tested and applied at numerous sites around the world. With its unique extended release properties, KLOZUR® KP is ideal for treating contaminants in the highly soluble aqueous phase.

Our expert Dr. Brant Smith, Professor Dan Cassidy of Western Michigan University, and Tom Simpkin and Mike Perlmutter of CH2M present soil and groundwater remediation strategies involving in situ mixing to produce alkali-activated persulfate.

Evonik’s laboratory created the KLOZUR® field test kit to provide a quick and reliable measurement of persulfate in the field.

There are two different kits available, depending on the activation method used. Each kit is capable of running ten tests and has a measurement range of 1g/L to 100g/L, with a theoretical accuracy of ±1g/L and ±2g/L respectively.
