An Ultrasound Catalyzed Ozone Oxidation Process Feasibility Study for the Destruction of TNT and Other Explosives in Aqueous Solution.
Abstract
Pinkwater containing TNT/RDX in the ratio 70%/30% was treated with ozone in the presence of ultrasound. Effects of the variables, initial solution pH, ultrasound power level and frequency, solution concentration and reaction temperature were studied. Reaction temperature and pH were the most important parameters with 99% TNT destruction achieved within one hour of ozonation at 59 degrees C and an initial solution pH of 10.0. (Author)
