Because of its stable oxygen release rate and environmentally benign character, Magnesium peroxide is widely used in agricultural, environmental, pharmaceutical and cosmetic industries. Magnesium peroxide is primarily used as the main oxygen source for in-situ bioremediation. The addition of oxygen releasing compounds to groundwater can be an effective treatment technology capable of reducing the levels of contaminants in groundwater. Magnesium peroxide is applied to aid in the remediation of petroleum hydrocarbons and other similar contaminants found in groundwater. Magnesium peroxide is very effective for the bioremediation of contaminated soils and improvement of soil quality for plant growth and metabolism.
Typical environmental remediation applications: soil remediation, groundwater remediation, site remediation, in situ bioremediation (or bio remediation and biological remediation), aquaculture bioremediation
