Engineering and Development Support of General Decon Technology for the DARCOM Installation Restoration Program. Task 2. Desensitization of Explosive- Laden Soils/Sediments. Volume 1

Abstract

This report presents a technical and economic evaluation of desensitization processes for explosive contaminated lagoon sediments. Chemical reduction, alkaline digestion, complexing-hydrolysis, aerobic biological, anaerobic biological, gamma irradiation, and wet-air oxidation were evaluated by comparison to incineration. Ultra-violet irradiation, oxidation, thermal degradation, surfactant-oil complexing, detonation, composting and open burning were evaluated to a lesser extent.
