The explosive 2,4,6-trinitrotoluene (TNT) is a common contaminant of soil and groundwater at former muntion plants and their dumping sites. TNT is toxic to numerous organisms. This paper reports on an efficient aerobic circulating percolation reactor system for the microbial detoxification of TNT-contaminated soil. 36 refs., 4 figs., 1 tab.
