As an oxygen releasing compound, magnesium peroxide has high content of reactive oxygen species, weak alkalinity of hydroxide generated by reaction with water, and little impact on environment. Therefore, magnesium peroxide has great application prospects in environmental remediation. However, the existing magnesium peroxide preparation technology has a series of problems, such as complex preparation process, low product purity, which greatly restricts its application and promotion. High-purity magnesium peroxide was prepared from magnesium oxide and hydrogen peroxide, and modified with surfactants to enhance its migrational ability in aquifers, and applied for in-situ remediation. Experimental results showed that the purity of magnesium peroxide reached 94% when the ratio of magnesium oxide mass(in grams) to hydrogen peroxide volume(in mL) was 1∶16, and continuing to increase the amount of hydrogen peroxide would not significantly improve the purity of magnesium peroxide. Surfactant could improve the stability of magnesium peroxide suspension, in which the combination surfactant of sodium dodecyl sulfate and sodium carboxymethyl cellulose had a significant effect on the modification. The modification effect was best when the dosage of both surfactants was 2% of the mass of magnesium peroxide, without separation and sedimentation in 1 hour. The modified magnesium peroxide has excellent migrational ability in aquifer media, and the larger medium particle size and higher flow rate are beneficial to the migration of magnesium peroxide.
