Introduction

IXPER® 75C Calcium Peroxide is a fine, very pale yellow, odourless powder that contains primarily calcium peroxide. IXPER® 75C Calcium Peroxide is mainly used for the enhanced natural attenuation of pollutants in soil and groundwater such as petrochemical spills and other aerobic biodegradable compounds.

Chemical Properties

IXPER® 75C Calcium Peroxide decomposes slowly in contact with water with the generation of oxygen. Typically H₂O₂ is not generated under these conditions due to the high pH.

2CaO₂ + 2H₂O => 2 Ca (OH)₂ +O ₂

The rate of gaseous oxygen generation is influenced by the physical and chemical properties of the surrounding medium such as pH, and temperature.

Applications

IXPER® 75C Calcium Peroxide is used for  enhanced aerobic bioremediation.

The most common pollutants that can be treated include: BTEX, MTBE, TPH, Non-halogenated volatile solvents, Phenols, cresols, PAH’s, some halogenated compounds, etc.

Formulation

IXPER® 75C Calcium Peroxide has a proven extended oxygen release profile.
