Advanced Oxidation Treatment of Army Industrial Wastewaters: Propellant Wastewater

water treatment processes that generate hydroxyl (OH) radicals for destruction of organic contaminants using ozone/UV, hydrogen peroxide/UV, or ozone/hydrogen peroxide. These processes are important methods for Army wastewater treatment and contamination remediation. This project: (1) analyzed information on AOPs for treatment of Army waste streams; (2) developed predictive models for process development, optimization, and cost projection; and (3) demonstrated on a laboratory scale AOP treatability of wastewater-containing DNT and ethanol. A kinetic model was found most suitable fo
