| description abstract | Treatability tests were conducted on soil from the reservoir No. 2 burning ground at the former Plum Brook Ordnance Works in Sandusky, Ohio. This soil is contaminated with explosives 2,4,6-trinitrotolune (TNT) and 2,4/2,6-dinitrotoluene (DNT), polychlorinated biphenyls (PCB, Aroclor 1260), as well as lead. Lime treatment (alkaline hydrolysis) and persulfate oxidation were tested individually and in combination to treat explosives and PCBs. Lime treatment removed 98% of TNT, 75% of DNT, and 80% of PCBs. Similar removal levels were found for persulfate treatment as well as lime followed by persulfate. The percentage of contaminant removal was found to be independent of initial contaminant concentrations. Treatments of the most contaminated soil did not meet the preliminary remediation goals for explosives or PCBs but would allow for disposal in a nonhazardous waste landfill. Treatment of soil with lower initial concentrations easily met the residential (most stringent) preliminary remediation goals of 16, 61, and | |
