This work describes the complete decontamination of three parcels of a dump site located in Lomas de Zamora county, Buenos Aires province (Argentina) heavily polluted with hexachorocyclohexane (HCH), where phytoremediation, successful in the surrounding areas, was ineffective. HCH contained in contaminated soil (10 g/kg average) was oxidized with sodium persulfate activated with citric acid chelated Fe(II). This chemical remediation process required treatment  in situ  in each parcel of approximately 10900 tons total of soil that were mechanically removed and initially mixed with 1750 tons of sodium persulfate. The mixture was then transferred to the excavation site, and 105 tons of ferrous sulfate and 35 tons of citric acid were finally added. The process, started in January 2011 and completed in February 2016, was very effective since chemical remediation average efficiency in the three parcels was higher than 99.99%. To the best of our knowledge this work is the first demonstration that persulfate oxidation activated with citric acid chelated Fe(II) can be successfully applied for field remediation of a relatively large area.
