| Biological treatment of explosives- contaminated soil is currently of interest to the U.S. Department of Defense. Composting is a fully implemented technology capable of removing explosives from soil cost-effectively. The biological and chemical reactions occurring during composting remove 2,4,6-trinitrotoluene (TNT), octahydro- 1 ,3,5,7-tetranitro- 1 ,3,5,7-tetrazocine (HMX), and hexahydro- l,3,5-trinitro-l,3,5-triazine (RDX), leaving no intermediates. Over the past several years, various groups have examined the use of soil slurry reactors to degrade ... |
