The results of the formation of hydrogen peroxide in a chlorinated secondary wastewater are presented in this paper. This research project utilizes a large scale 1.5 MeV, 50 mA, electron accelerator located at the Virginia Key Wastewater Treatment Plant in Miami, Florida. Secondary chlorinated wastewater is connected to the influent of the electron beam facility and can be treated at 120 gpm. The formation of the oxidant hydrogen peroxide has been related to electron dose. Experimental results are presented and discussed.
