Title: 2,4,6-trinitrotoluene (TNT) transformation/sorption in thin-disk soil columns under anaerobic conditions. Final report

Abstract

The sorption and transformation behavior of 2,4,6-trinitrotoluene (TNT) is important to modeling and remediation efforts at military installations where subsurface contamination exists in connection with munitions production. Processes potentially affecting the fate and transport of TNT in soils and groundwater include biotic and abiotic transformation, sorption, advection, hydrodynamic dispersion, dissolution, diffusion, and facilitated transport by organic and inorganic colloids (McGrath 1995). TNT breakthrough curves may provide indications of the type of processes occurring. The transformation rate of TNT is of particular interest in determining the long-term risk associated with TNT contamination in a soil.
