Sediment contaminated with a complex organic such as ethylenediamine tetraacetic acid, may be decomposed utilizing incineration or wet oxidation. Essential wet oxidation utilizes Fenton`s reagent which is hydrogen peroxide in the presence of a catalyst such as ferrous sulfate react together at low pH. The organic contaminant is oxidized to carbon oxide, ammonia gas and water. The water will contain the residue which consists of metal oxides and sulfate salt, mainly ammonium sulfate. The paper will review the relationships between the various independent variables such as pH, peroxide consumption, off gas content and the dependent variable-EDTA destruction levels.
