Compositions, methods, and systems for managing total sulfide
View Patent ↗Certain exemplary embodiments can involve contacting a predetermined portion of a medium and a reaction product resulting from a reaction between predetermined reactants that can include a predetermined active ferric chelate and a nitrate/nitrite, the contacting occurring at a pH of approximately 6 to approximately 8, the contacting effective to oxidize at least a portion of a sulfide contaminant associated with the predetermined portion of the medium.
1. A method comprising:
contacting a predetermined portion of a medium and a reaction product resulting from a reaction between predetermined reactants comprising an active ferric chelate and a nitrate/nitrite, said contacting occurring at a pH of approximately 6 to approximately 8, said contacting effective to oxidize at least a portion of a sulfide contaminant associated with said predetermined portion of said medium.
2. The method of claim 1 , said reactants further comprising:
a peroxide.
3. The method of claim 1 , wherein:
said medium comprises wastewater.
4. The method of claim 1 , wherein:
said sulfide contaminant comprises hydrogen sulfide.
5. The method of claim 1 , wherein:
said contacting occurs in an anaerobic environment.
