FOUR NOVEL PROCESSES FOR THE CONTROL OF VOLATILE ORGANIC EMISSIONS ARE PROPOSED FOR INVESTIGATION. THE FIRST OF THESE IS BASED ON SCRUBBING THE VOLATILE ORGANICS WITH AN OXIDATION RESISTANT LIQUID WHICH IS REGENERATED BY AQUEOUS PHASE OXIDATION USING A STRONG OXIDANT. A SECOND PROCESS ISBASED ON USE OF A NOVEL OXIDATION CATALYST WHICH WILL ENABLETHE LOW TEMPERATURE CONVERSION OF VOLATILE ORGANICS ...

A NOVEL PROCESS FOR FIXED-BED ADSORPTION USING ACTIVATED CARBON AND SOLVENT REGENERATION IS PROPOSED FOR INVESTIGATION. THE PROCESS OFFERS EASIER AND LESS COSTLY SOLVENT REGNERATION, REDUCED ADSORBER BED-LENGTH REQUIREMENTS, REDUCED CONCENTRATIONS OF ADSORBED WATER, AND LOWER PROCESS ENERGY REQUIREMENT AND CAPITAL AND OPERATING COSTS. THE PROCESS WILL HAVE APPLICATION TO THE RECOVERY OF SPECIFIC I ...

CONTAMINATION OF GROUNDWATER BY TRICHLOROETHYLENE AND OTHER VOLATILE HALOGENATED SOLVENTS REPRESENTS A SERIOUS THREAT TO THE NATION'S DRINKING WATER. CURRENT TREATMENT TECHNIQUES FOR CONTROLLING SUCH CONTAMINATION ARE LIMITED TO AERATION, ADSORPTION, AND LINKING. A PROMISING ALTERNATIVE IS PHOTOCHEMICAL OXIDATION, BUT THIS PROCESS IS AS YET UNOPTIMIZED, POORLY UNDERSTOOD, AND LARGELY LIMITED. PHOT ...
