Hazardous Organic Waste Destruction by Electrochemical Oxidation.

摘要

For these reasons, a project was funded to investigate an electrochemical method for oxidation of hazardous and mixed wastes. Electrochemical oxidation (ECO) has been successfully applied for destruction of very dilute solutions of chlorinated solvents in water, and for cleanup of more concentrated phenolic pulp wastes. Our work was intended to examine the ECO approach to destruction or organic wastes which are found on the Hanford site and in the Pacific Northwest generally. Not surprisingly, many of these wastes are also found elsewhere, particularly at military installations, as they comprise solvents, paints, laboratory chemicals, and other chemical processing wastes. 5 refs., 9 figs.
