Evaluation of Peroxone Oxidation Techniques for Removal of Explosives fromCornhusker Army Ammunition Plant Waters

摘要

Peroxone technology is based on the combination of hydrogen peroxide (H202) andozone (03) for the generation of the hydroxyl radical (OH*), which is a powerful reactive species in water, to further oxidize the organic contaminants. The main objective of this study was to determine the technical feasibility of using peroxone systems for treatment of contaminated groundwaters at the Cornhusker Army Ammunition Plant (CAAP). The U.S. Army Engineer Waterways Experiment Station (WES) selected CAAP for the evaluation of peroxone oxidation technology since this site is included on the National Priorities List and due to the relatively
