Abstract:
There is provided according to the present invention a sustained release reactant blend and methods for making and using the sustained release reactant blends. There is further provided methods for using such blends in the in situ or ex situ remediation of contaminated groundwater and in the treatment of water and wastewater. There is further provided, according to the present invention, methods for controllably coating reactant blends whereby such coated blends exhibit sustained release properties and have an open structure.

Claim (Index 1):
A process for treatment of contamination using a sustained release reactant blend, the process comprising the steps of:\n forming a sustained release reactant blend into a porous engineered shape, the sustained release reactant blend comprising a first reactant, a second reactant, and a matrix; selecting a medium comprised of water, soil, or a combination of water and soil for treatment, the medium being contaminated with a contaminant having a half-life; treating the medium with the sustained release reactant blend; and reducing the half-life in the presence of the sustained release reactant blend; wherein the porous engineered shape is defined by an open structure such that the medium and contaminant can flow into the open structure and contact the first and second reactants.
