Abstract
A potentially attractive technique has been used for the oxidative degradation of combustible organic wastes using hydrogen peroxide as oxidant. Oxidative degradation process is simple, reliable and operates under mild conditions of temperature and pressure. Infrared spectroscopy was used as a non-destructive tool to follow the degradation process. The results obtained show that the proposed process is highly efficient in transforming cation exchange resins from solid to liquid phase with a good reduction factor (up to 1250) and high conversion percentage (up to 98.46%). Oxidative degradation of a spent liquid scintillator was carried out before immobilization in cement matrix to avoid its negative retarding effect on the hydration of cement materials and to reduce the potential fire risk of the organic scintillator.
