TLDR
In this article, a method of treating contaminants in soil and/or groundwater comprising adding a source of an oxidizing agent and an aqueous solution of a metal catalyst having a pH of from about 5 to 8 to the in situ environment in amounts capable of producing reactive species sufficient to oxidize at least one of the contaminants.

Microporous diffusion apparatus

TL;DR: In this paper, an active in situ multi-element gas sparging for bioremediation or physico-chemical degration for removal of contaminants in a soil formation containing a subsurface groundwater aquifer or a substantially wet unsaturated zone is described.
Patent

In situ water and soil remediation method and system

TL;DR: In this article, an oxidizing agent is introduced into the site to release a free radical in a Fenton-type reaction, which acts upon the contaminants to form environmentally neutral species.
Patent

Remediation of contaminates including low bioavailability hydrocarbons

TL;DR: In this article, a method of treatment of a contaminated material contaminated with an organic compound is provided, which includes treating the contaminate with a bioremediation step followed by a chemical oxidation step.
Patent

Oxidation of organic compounds

TL;DR: In this article, an improved method and compositions for treating organic compounds present in soil, groundwater and other environments is disclosed, which involves the use of a composition comprising a solid state, water soluble peroxygen compound and zero valent iron.
Patent

Soil remediation method and composition

TL;DR: In this article, withanolide chemical genetic probes identify the in vivo binding target of withaferin A, which is the intermediate filament type III protein vimentin, and a small molecule screening method is used to screen drug candidates that target intermediate filament types III proteins.

Biodegradation of organic chemicals

TL;DR: Erroneous conclusions may be reached from studies or routine tests done with organic chemicals at the levels often employed for prediction of chemical fate in nature as mentioned in this paper, and these errors in extrapolation from high to low concentration may occur in routine evaluations of biodegradation, careful assessments of kinetics, or the establishment of products formed in water, soil or sediments.
