1,4-Dioxane

Overcoming the Unique Challenges of 1,4-Dioxane Remediation

1,4-Dioxane is a persistent and challenging contaminant in soil and groundwater, primarily stemming from its historical use as a stabilizer in solvents like 1,1,1-trichloroethane. Its unique properties make it difficult to remediate:

  • High Solubility and Mobility: 1,4-Dioxane readily dissolves in water, spreading extensively in groundwater.
  • Low Volatility: It resists volatilization, making traditional air stripping ineffective.
  • Resistance to Degradation: 1,4-Dioxane resists natural attenuation and reductive technologies, requiring oxidative methods for effective treatment.

These characteristics often result in large, co-mingled plumes that are costly and complex to remediate, posing significant challenges for environmental professionals.

How Carus Can Help

Carus provides advanced permanganate-based solutions tailored to the destruction of 1,4-Dioxane:

Complete Mineralization:

Permanganates achieve complete destruction of 1,4-Dioxane, avoiding inhibitory pathways common with other technologies.

Compatibility with CVOCs:

Permanganates effectively treat co-contaminants like chlorinated volatile organic compounds (CVOCs), reducing the need for multiple treatment approaches.

Single-Component Treatment:

Permanganate does not require activation, simplifying site implementation.

Solutions in Action

  • Rapid Reaction Rates: Chemical oxidation with permanganates accelerates site closure timelines, reducing long-term project costs.
  • Flexible Application Methods: Permanganates can be applied via soil mixing, injection, or hydraulic emplacement, depending on site-specific conditions.
  • Comprehensive Support: Carus offers expert consultation and soil analysis to optimize site design, ensuring successful implementation and efficient contaminant removal.
