Fenton and Fenton-like wet oxidation for degradation and destruction of organic radioactive wastes

Fenton or Fenton-like oxidation for treatment of organic radioactive wastes is a promising technology with applications to a range of organic wastes. This review details this process; exploring potential challenges, pitfalls and opportunities for industrial usage with radioactive wastes. The application of this process to real radioactive wastes within pilot-plant settings has been documented, with key findings critically assessed in the context of future waste production. Although this oxidation process has not found mainstream success in treatment of radioactive wastes, a lower temperature oxidation system bring certain benefits, specifically for higher volume or problematic organic wastestreams.11Ysciescopu
