Laboratory Treatability Study on Hexahydro-1, 3, 5-trinitro-1, 3, 5-triazine- (RDX-) Contaminated Soil from the lowa army Ammunition Plant, Burlington, lowa

摘要

Soil in certain areas of the Iowa Army Ammunition Plant in Burlington, Iowa, was contaminated with hexahydro-1, 3, 5- Trinitro - 1, 3, 5 - triazine (RDX). A laboratory treatability study was Conducted to examine the ability of native soil bacteria present in the Contaminated site to degrade RDX. The results indicated that RDX can be removed effectively from the soil by native soil bacteria through a Co-metabolic process.
