“…Radical scavengers, such as transition metals and soil organic matter associated with the subsurface materials, both aqueous and solid, can impose a significant oxidant demand, which ultimately reduces the amount of oxidant available for reaction with contaminants and increases the cost of treatment (e.g., Brusseau et al, 2011;Crimi and Siegrist, 2003;Marble et al, 2010;Mumford et al, 2004;Urynowicz, 2008;Xu and Thomson, 2009). The oxidant demand, as well as the reactivity of the oxidants, provides a serious challenge for the development of ISCO in general, and the variability and potential controls of O3 oxidant demand in ISCO systems remains subject to research (e.g., Clayton et al, 2011;Huling and Pivetz, 2006;Lim et al, 2002;Masten, 1991;Masten and Davies, 1997;Wang et al, 2012).…”
