Aragonite for Environmental Remediation.

Carbonate media for acidity neutralization, soil and water treatment, and restoration programs.

Supplied as WT-CAL, 1–3 mm (published range), or as a custom classification to a written specification.

The remediation application

Carbonate alkalinity applied through site-specific design.

Oolitic aragonite is a calcium-carbonate source for projects involving acidity neutralization, calcium addition and graded mineral media. Site chemistry, hydraulic conditions, dose and placement guide the remediation design.

  • Acidity neutralization. Carbonate consumes acidity, while particle size, dose and site chemistry determine reaction rate and capacity.
  • Particle-size control. Sizing affects contact area, hydraulic behavior, settling, transport and reaction timing in soil and water systems.
  • Chemistry and leachability. Leach behavior is established by the project’s own testing against the site acceptance criteria and any disposal or reuse requirements. AragoCor publishes no leachate data beyond the composition table.
  • Monitoring-led use. Define baseline conditions, dose, placement, endpoints and contingency actions before introducing material to a site or water body.

What matters to a remediation team

Characterize the site before selecting the media.

Site and contaminant model

Document acidity, alkalinity, pH, metals or other constituents, flow, residence time, receptors and regulatory requirements.

Neutralization testing

Use representative soil, water or waste in a bench test with a defined dose-response method and acceptance endpoint.

Hydraulic and placement behavior

Evaluate permeability, settling, erosion, suspension, transport and recovery for the proposed placement method.

Trace and leachability controls

Material chemistry and project-specific leachability data support compatibility and placement planning.

A practical path from specification to use.

01

Baseline

Develop the site model, sampling plan, acceptance criteria and applicable regulatory pathway.

02

Bench and pilot

Measure dose response, reaction time, hydraulic behavior and secondary chemistry using representative material.

03

Implement and monitor

Use controlled placement, field verification and a defined monitoring and contingency plan.

A carbonate medium integrated into remediation design.

Engineering, environmental and regulatory teams define dose, placement, monitoring and closeout around site conditions.

Bench and pilot programs connect carbonate chemistry with field hydraulics and treatment endpoints.

Discuss the site chemistry, media sizing and test plan.

Provide the site matrix, target condition, flow or placement method, estimated volume and destination for product matching and pricing.
