A Laboratory Study of Carbon Adsorption for Elimination of Nitrobody Waste from Army Ammunition Plants.

Abstract

Carbon adsorption was found to be an effective method for removing nitrobodies from waste streams. Several granular carbons were shown to be good absorbents for nitrobody waste. Two mathematical models were developed to predict the behavior of the fixed bed column. Regeneration of spent carbon was found to be promising by either chemical or thermal means. (Author)
