On-site treatment of contaminated soils using catalyzed peroxide. Final report
Technical Report
·
OSTI ID:6932485
Treatment of contaminated water, timbers, and soils was investigated using catalyzed hydrogen peroxide, a procedure based on Fenton's reagent (hydrogen peroxide and iron (II)). The process produces hydroxyl radicals which oxidize essentially all organic contaminants. Fenton's methodology was used to treat total petroleum hydrocarbons (TPH) in an oil-water separator effluent from the WSDOT White Pass maintenance station. Results indicated that the presence of surfactants affected treatment efficiency. Although surfactants lowered the effectiveness of the process, 25% of the TPH was removed. The results showed that soil organic carbon content was an insignificant variable in the catalyzed peroxide treatment of diesel-contaminated soils.
