 | The primary objectives of this study were to determine if sediment contaminated with TNT, RDX, HMX, and tetryl from Louisiana AAP, soil contaminated with nitrocellulose from Badger AAP, and soil contaminated with TCE from Letterkenny AD can be decontaminated using composting. Laboratory studies were conducted using 14 C-tracers to evaluate contaminated breakdown in two types of compost (hay-horse feed and sewage sludge-wood chips) with contaminated sediment from these Army installations ... |

| The primary objective of this study was to determine the extent to which TNT and RDX concentrations are reduced by composting under controlled conditions in the laboratory over a period of six weeks. A second objective was to determine if bench-scale composting studies accurately simulate the activity of a large-scale compost by comparison of parallel studies monitoring TNT and RDX disappearance in laboratory scale (50 g dry weight) and greenhouse ... |

 | The objective of this study was to review and evaluate the available information on microbial degradation of TNT, RDX and 2,4-DNT. Particular emphasis was placed on using adapted or mutant microorganisms for degradation of low concentrations of TNT, RDX and 2,4-DNT in soils and high concentrations of these compounds in sediments. Complete mineralization of 2,4-DNT occurs rapidly in the presence of large mixed populations of microorganisms under aerobic conditions. TNT ... |
