5. EXTENDED-RELEASE OXIDATION (XRO)
Ax-Nano method of remediation involves the XRO
• Strong oxidants
-percarbonate, persulfate, permanganate
• Controlled release
- released in small parts over extended period
WHY CONTROL RELEASE
• control the release of reactive compounds
(percarbonate)
• reduce non-selective consumption of oxidants
• maintain effective treatment for longer period

14. METHODS
• A stock solution of KMNO4 was created by dissolving 0.03g of
KMNO4 in 30ml of distilled water to get 6mM.
• A measured 1.34g, 1.33g, and 1.34g tablet of percarbonate
was dropped into three different 200mL beakers labelled A-C
respectively. DI water was added up to the mark. This
created a solution where H2O2 was gradually released from the
percarbonate tablets.
• Sleeves were cut into smaller units of three equal parts.
A measured 0.779g, 0.797g, and 0.778g amount of
percarbonate powder were put into each sleeves and tied with
a zipper. Each tied sleeves were then dropped into three
different 200mL beaker, and DI water was added to each
beaker up to the mark and labelled D-F respectively.
• Three separate 0.80g percarbonate powder was measured
and put into three separate 200mL beaker DI water was
added up to the mark and labelled G-I respectively.

15. • A stock solution of nitric acid was also prepared by
adding 12 mL of concentrated nitric acid to DI water in
the 100 mL volumetric flask
• 4 mL nitric acid solution was added to glass vial labelled
A-I
• 0.2mL hydrogen peroxide-containing solution from each
sample labelled A-F was added to the same vials and
mixed.
• Using the stir plate, a small stir bar was added into each
vials and placed on the stirring plate.
• Aliquots of KMNO4 were added in 10uL
measurements until a faint pink color was achieved(
endpoint)
• Note : For this experiment, Two drops were required to
activate the reaction.
• ORP, pH, and conductivity of each
sample were measured using the pH and ORP meter.
• Experiments were repeatedly done at different
timepoints over 3 weeks.

16. On-Field Experiment
• Three separate 14ft of non-woven
polypropylene fabric (sleeves) were measured
and cut to size.
• 2.26kg percarbonate was weighed and poured
into sleeves. Sleeves were tied with zip ties
and were mounted into 5 separate PSM. (fig A)
• The 5 separate PSM were attached
together with braided ropes, such that the total
length was 14ft. (fig A)
• 2.12kg, and 2.18kg of percarbonate were also
weighed and put into the separate sleeves
(2.12kg goes into the long un-detached sleeves
fig. B) while 2.18kg were separated into three
detached sleeves fig. C). All sleeves were
tied with zip ties.
• Braided ropes were attached to all the end of
the sleeves and loops were made for easy pull-
up during investigation.
16
17. • Products in fig. A were deployed into WM8
• Products in fig. B were deployed in WM6
• Products in fig. C were deployed in WM14-
ropes were tied to each sleeves with one 3
ft shorter than the next. This is to make
sure the sleeves don't get stacked to each
other.
• Samples were taken every week for 4
weeks from each well into four 150mL
container, and labelled WM10, WM8,
WM6, and WM14 respectively.
• PH , ORP, and conductivity of each sample
was analyzed in the lab using the PH-ORP
meter.
• 4mL of nitric acid were added
to 1mL sample from each 150mL container.
• Each samples were placed on the stirring
plate and KMNO4 aliquot added until
endpoint was achieved.

Control release table
AX-NANO LAB RESULTS
It can be inferred from the table and graph that
sample a-f undergoes a release rate over time.
Sample g-i were completely dissolved in DI water in
the first few hours and hence, the sharp decrese in
percentage release over time.

CONCLUSIONS
• Experimental results from laboratory experiment shows that percarbonate deployed in non-woven
polypropylene fabric undergoes controlled release as shown by sample d, e and f (page 18).
• Percarbonate treatment in groundwater remediation causes a positive change in pH, ORP and
conductivity as shown on page 19 and 21.
• Non-plastic screen mesh treatment has the same effect as plastic screen mesh treatment during
groundwater remediation.
• Due to invented product design (braided ropes, no canisters, and invented loops) for the A & T
experiment, samples for WM8 and WM6 were deployed easily and removed with ease for sample
collection (becomes more lighter during pull-up).
• Product design method for WM14 (page 16, fig. C) is not advisable. Ropes get tangled-up during
sample collection, and it also waste time.

RECOMMENDATIONS
• Additional experiment needs to be carried out to determine the volume of
groundwater present on A&T FARM (if possible). This will help to get a clear insight
on release rate.
• Samples should be collected a day after insertion to get a clear insight on how fast
percarbonate is decimated.
• Braided ropes can be subjected to lab test to further ascertain its durability.
