Whereas dithionite has been extensively used as a reducing agent in soil and sediment remediation, here, we demonstrate that it can be used as a potential source of oxidizing radical in oxic soils with potential application in organic pollutant remediation. Benzoic acid was used as a probe compound and the generation of its oxidative product para-hydroxybenzoic acid ( p -HBA) was detected to quantify the production of oxidative radicals (ROS). By increasing the dithionite concentration from 2.5–10 Mm, the accumulated P-HBA concentration in 120 min increased from 15.0–27 µM. Whereas, above 10 mM, the p-HBA concentration decreased due to radical scavenging. Increasing soil dosage from 2.5–15 g/100 mL the accumulated p-HBA amount increased from 22.8–33.7 µM. Temperature 25–35  o C and pH 6.2–7.5 were favoured for p-HBA generation. Furthermore, we investigated the roles of different active intermediates in the reaction system and proposed the mechanism behind the ROS genearation. This study suggested that dithionite can be used as an active reagent for advanced oxidation remediation in oxic soil medium.
