Thermal Desorption/Ultraviolet Photolysis Process Technology Research, Test, and Evaluation Performed at the Naval Construction Battalion Center, Gulfport, Mississippi, for the USAF Installation Restoration Program. Volume 4
Abstract
The objective of this effort was to examine the feasibility of using a thermal desorption/ultraviolet (TD/UV) destruction technology to treat Herbicide Orange (HO)-contaminated soil at the Naval Construction Battalion Center (NCBC), Gulfport, Mississippi. The IT Corporation pilot -scale TD/UV apparatus was used to successfully treat 1700 pounds of sandy-loam, cement stabilized, soil that had been contaminated with HO and 2,3,7,8 tetrachlorobenzo-p-dioxin (TCDD). The TD/UV process volatilizes organic compounds from the soil matrix; collects the desorbed organics in a solvents; and destroys the contaminants with high-intensity ultraviolet light. Volume IV contains appendices Q through V. The appendices pertain to: Creosote chromatogram; Battelle Columbus laboratories analytical methodologies for dioxin/Furans in NCBC soil and solvent samples; Review/evaluation of analytical results for TD/UV photolysis process verification samples at NCBC; Battelle Columbus laboratories priority pollutant metals and cyanide analytical results for six NCBC soil samples; Detailed cost estimate for TD/UV photolysis treatment of dioxin - contaminated soil; and Analysis backup for cost estimate.
