In support of the UST, WeDID, VOC/Non-Arid, and VOC/Arid, and VOC/Arid Integrated Demonstrations, organic contaminants and nitrates in Hanford Underground Storage Tank (UST) wastes, polymeric organics in weapon components, and chlorocarbon soil contaminants have been destroyed by exposure to high-temperature steam during bench tests with a quartz reactor and full-scale tests that used the Synthetica Detoxifier, a commercial one-ton-per-day steam reforming waste destruction system. Reactivation of Granular Activated Carbon (GAC) in the Detoxifier and Thermal Gravimetric Analyses (TGA) of the decomposition of sodium nitrate have also been performed.
