In-Situ Electrochemical Remediation of Underwater Unexploded Ordinance

Abstract

The objective of this work was to investigate the suitability of chemical and electrochemical processes to convert the secondary explosives in underwater UXO to an inert compound and to remove the inert compound from the UXO casing to provide a cost effective and safe munitions remediation process. While these processes were well characterized and used for industrial applications, they had yet to be applied to the remediation of underwater UXO.
