RemOx® L ISCO reagent has been specifically manufactured for environmental applications such as remediation of soils and associated groundwater. This product can be used to degrade a variety of contaminants including chlorinated solvents, polyaromatic hydrocarbons, phenolics, organo-pesticides, and substituted aromatics. RemOx L is shipped with a certificate of analysis (COA) to document assay and trace metals.
In situ chemical oxidation (ISCO) has emerged as a cost-effective and viable remediation technology for the treatment of contaminants in groundwater, soils, and sediments.
CHEMICAL/PHYSICAL DATA
Formula NaMnO4
Formula Weight 141.93 g/mol
Appearance Dark Purple Solution
Specific Gravity 1.365-1.385 g/mL
Shelf Life 18 months
Freezing Point 5° F
Solubility in Water Miscible with water in all proportions.
Material will pass through a 10 micron filter.
APPLICATIONS
RemOx L is used for soil and groundwater remediation by in situ or ex situ chemical oxidation and as an active agent in subsurface reactive barriers for treatment of:
Chlorinated Ethenes - PCE, TCE, Vinyl Chloride, etc.
Phenolics, PCP, p-Cresol, 2,3 dichlorophenol, etc.
Polyaromatic Hydrocarbons, - Naphthalene, Phenanthrene, Benzo (a) Pyrene, etc.
TNT, RDX, HMX, etc.
HANDLING, STORAGE, AND INCOMPATIBILITY
Like any strong oxidizer RemOx L should be handled with care. Protective equipment during handling should include face shields and/or goggles, rubber or plastic gloves, and rubber or plastic apron. If clothing becomes spotted, wash off immediately; spontaneous ignition can occur with cloth or paper. In cases where significant exposure exists use the appropriate NIOSH-MSHA dust or mist respirator.
Store in accordance with NFPA (National Fire Protection Association) Code 430 requirements for Class II oxidizers. The product should be stored in a cool, dry area in closed containers. Concrete floors are preferred. Avoid wooden decks. Spillage should be collected and disposed of properly. To clean up spills and leaks follow the steps recommended in the MSDS.
Avoid contact with acids, peroxides, and all combustible organic or readily oxidizable materials including inorganic oxidizable materials
and metal powders. With hydrochloric acid, chlorine gas is liberated. RemOx L is not combustible, but will support combustion. It may decompose if exposed to intense heat. Fires may be controlled and extinguished by using large quantities of water. Refer to the MSDS for more information.
SHIPPING
RemOx L is classified as an oxidizer for both domestic and international transportation. Liquid permanganate is shipped domestically as Freight Class 70.

Vessel Stowage:
D-material must be stowed “ on-deck” on a cargo vessel, but is prohibited on a passenger vessel. Other provisions: stow separately from ammonium compounds, hydrogen peroxide, peroxides, super-oxides, cyanide compounds, and powdered metal.
CORROSIVE PROPERTIES
RemOx L is compatible with many metals and synthetic materials. Natural rubbers and fibers are often incompatible. Solution pH and temperature are also important factors. The material selected for use with liquid permanganate must be compatible with any kind of acid or alkali being used.
In neutral and alkaline solutions, RemOx L is not corrosive to carbon steel and 316 stainless steel. However, chloride corrosion of metals may be accelerated when an oxidant such as liquid permanganate is present in solution. Plastics such as Teflon, polypropylene, and HDPE are also compatible with liquid permanganate.
Aluminum, zinc, copper, lead, and alloys containing these metals may be (slightly) affected by RemOx L. Actual corrosion or compatibility studies should be made under the conditions in which RemOx L will be used.
