| Use advice for data set | When using this data set for Life Cycle Assessment (LCA), it is important to ensure the methodological consistency with other data sets within your study. For instance, make certain that the unit processes, measured in kg of sodium persulfate per ton of contaminated soil, align with the functional unit and reference flows of your project. Furthermore, the energy consumption data included should be accounted for in the environmental impact assessment. Consider any site-specific conditions that may affect the efficacy of the in-situ oxidation, such as soil composition and contaminant distribution. If recycling or reuse of treated soil is planned, include it in the system boundaries of the LCA accordingly. Pay attention to the geographic and technological representativeness of the data to ensure its applicability to your scenario. |
| Technical purpose of product or process | The industrial process described is intended for the in-situ chemical oxidation (ISCO) soil remediation. It is an environmental engineering technique used to treat and decontaminate soil in place by injecting oxidizing agents, in this case, sodium persulfate. This method is utilized to break down soil contaminants such as hydrocarbons, chlorinated compounds, and certain inorganic substances without excavating the soil. It is particularly applicable for polluted industrial or commercial lands, where in-situ treatment is preferred due to lower disruption and cost compared to excavation and off-site treatment. |
