Abstract
Under proper conditions, discussed in this monograph, chemical treatment can be a useful site remediation technology. The following are likely applications of the processes addressed in this monograph:
-
Substitution processes, especially the high temperature processes, will be used to treat soils and sludges contaminated with polychlorinated biphenyls (PCBs), pentachlorophenol (PCP), chlorodibenzodioxins, and chlorodibenzofurans;
-
Oxidation and precipitation processes will be used to treat water from pump-and-treat applications; and
-
Precipitation processes will be commonly used to treat sludges and aqueous streams that are contaminated with toxic metals and other cations.
