1. An aqueous based treatment solution for remediating hydrogen sulfide (H2S) and other contaminants in liquids and substantially without formation of precipitate, the treatment solution comprising:
at least one hydroxide compound;
at least one organic acid selected from a group consisting of a fulvic acid and a humic acid;
water; and
a low molecular weight hydrocarbon liquid, wherein
a collective concentration of the at least one hydroxide compound in the treatment solution is in a range of 35-55 weight %,
a content of water in the treatment solution is at least 30 weight %, and
a collective concentration of the at least one organic acid in the treatment solution is at least 0.01 weight %.
