Gel comprising reactive oxidant release agent The invention provides a gel composition comprising 5% to 75% w/w of an inorganic gelling agent other than silica based gelling agents, 0.5-60% w/w, preferably 0.5 to 30% w/w, of an inorganic oxidant release agent and at least 20% w/w of water, and possibly a stabilizer. It further provides a process for making same, comprising preparing a first solution of a dibasic phosphate salt in water comprising dissolved oxidant release agent, preparing a second and solution of a alkaline earth metal salt in water comprising dissolved oxidant release agent, and mixing both, first and second solutions, in a ratio of 1 to 1 to 10 to 1, followed by a concentration step. The gel composition of the invention is suitable for soil, sediment groundwater or water remediation purposes and disinfection or wound healing purposes. |
