Engineering and Development Support of General Decon Technology for the U.S. Army's Installation Restoration Program. Task 2. Treatment of Explosives Contaminated Lagoon Sediment. Phase 1. Literature Review and Evaluation

Abstract

This report presents a technical and economic evaluation of 8 processes for removal of high concentrations of explosives from contaminated lagoon sediments. The processes evaluated were wet-air oxidation, incineration, molten salts incineration, microwave plasma, high energy electrons, gamma radiation, UV-ozone, UV-peroxide, and chemical degradation. Each process was evaluated for its technical effectiveness, costs, mobility, advantages and disadvantages in application to lagoon decontamination and ability to meet air and water quality standards.
