Demonstration of Smoldering Combustion Treatment of PFAS impacted Investigation-Derived Waste
Abstract
Smoldering combustion is a flameless, self M sustaining process that occurs on the surface of a condensed (i.e., solid or liquid-phase) fuel, converting organic material into primarily heat, carbon dioxide, and water. Smoldering has been well documented for solid porous materials and burning charcoal in a barbeque is a familiar example. Smoldering of an organic liquid (i.e., NAPL) embedded within an inert porous matrix is also possible and the reaction continues in a self-sustaining manner (i.e., continue in the absence of external energy input following a onetime, local ignition) and would destroy the NAPL if an oxidant (e.g., oxygen in air) and fuel (NAPL) were in sufficient quantity.
