RegenOx The trade name for a system for remediating contaminated soils. Two liquids are injected an alkaline solution of sodium percarbonate, and a solution of a catalyst. Claimed to be capable of destroying hydrocarbons, gasoline oxygenates, and chlorinated hydrocarbons. Offered by Regenesis, San Clemente, CA, from 2005. 

Ultrasound applied to aqueous solutions creates a phenomenon called cavitation, which involves high pressures (up to 1000 atm) and temperatures (up to 5000 K) inside minute bubbles formed in the liquid. Useful chemical phenomena may occur as a result of radical production, such as the highly oxidizing OH radicals (see AOP in Section 10.1.2). Examples of use include the oxidation of pollutants such as toxic As(III) to As(V), gasoline oxygenates, cyanobacterial toxins, and carbon disulfide.
