    摘要: Hydrogen peroxide is vaporized (20) and mixed (30) with ammonia gas in a ratio between 1:1 and 1:0.0001. The peroxide and ammonia vapor mixture are conveyed to a treatment area (10) to neutralize V-type, H-type, or G-type chemical agents, pathogens, biotoxins, spores, prions, and the like. The ammonia provides the primary deactivating agent for G-type agents with the peroxide acting as an accelerator. The peroxide acts as the primary agent for deactivating V-type and H-type agents, pathogens, biotoxins, spores, and prions. The ammonia acts as an accelerator in at least some of these peroxide deactivation reactions.

    摘要: A system and apparatus is provided for the decontamination of river bottoms. The system makes use of a barge, which is passed over the soil that needs to be decontaminated. The barge carries a high intensity laser, such as a 2,000 kW excimer YAG laser. The output of the laser is directed into a plurality of fiber optic cables. These fiber optic cables extend from the laser all the way down to the bottom of the river. The fiber optic cables direct the high intensity laser beams at the bottom of the river. The laser light reacts with the PCBs in the soil and breaks down and dissociates the chemicals into harmless by-products. Additionally, UV light emitters can also be attached to the fiber optic cables, near the river bottom, to assist in the PCB decontamination process.

    摘要: A cost-effective, long-term, permanent method for stabilizing chromium in a chromium-contaminated waste matrix characterized by high concentrations of alkaline material (such as lime) includes the steps of contacting a source of hexavalent chromium with a source of ferrous ions to produce ferric ions; oxidizing iron pyrite to produce ferrous sulfate and sulfuric acid; and contacting the alkaline chromium-contaminated particulate matter with the ferrous sulfate and the sulfuric acid for a time sufficient to convert ferrous sulfate into ferric sulfate and to reduce mobile hexavalent chromium to non-leachable trivalent chromium. The method is integrated in that ferrous sulfate produced by oxidizing iron pyrite serves as a source of ferrous ions in the first contacting step. Optionally, ferric ions can be generated in a side reactor and then used to produce ferrous ions. The ferrous ions can be used both to produce further ferric ions in the side reactor and to treat COPR waste.

    摘要: The present invention provides supported peroxides, and a method of forming supported peroxides. Supported peroxides according to the invention are solid particles that include an organic peroxide and a metallic soap. In accordance with the method of the invention, supported peroxides are preferably formed by dispersing a mixture that includes at least one peroxide and at least one C4 to C30 carboxylic acid into an aqueous solution that includes a compound that is capable of reacting with the C4 to C30 carboxylic acid to form a water soluble soap. Dispersing the mixture into the aqueous solution results in the formation of an emulsion. A polyvalent metal compound that is capable of reacting with the water soluble soap to form a water insoluble metallic soap is then added to the emulsion, which converts the water soluble soap into a water insoluble metallic soap that precipitates from the solution. The organic peroxide is entrained within the precipitate.

    摘要: A zero ground disturbance dike apparatus and method for the secondary containment of harmful chemicals that are stored in primary storage vessels, wherein the dike apparatus does not require the drilling of postholes or the setting of support posts in concrete. Sections of dike walls are attached to bracing assemblies, each bracing assembly being comprised of a brace and a base plate. Braces are configured to support the assembled wall sections and to provide resistance against the outwardly force exerted by material that is released from the primary storage vessel. Base plates attached to the braces assist in resisting bending moments that may be created about the base of the dike apparatus. The brace assembly also preferably includes at least one base support channel for additional base plate stiffness and support cables to further resist the outwardly forces exerted against the dike apparatus by said released materials.

    摘要: Systems and methods relating to subterranean drilling while maintaining containment of any contaminants released during the drilling. A thrust block installed over a zone of interest provides an overflow space for retaining any contaminants and excess sealant returns. Negative air pressure may be maintained in the overflow space by a ventilation system. Access ports in the thrust block seal the overflow space from the surrounding environment with a membrane seal. A flexible sack seal in the access port may be connected to a drill shroud prior to drilling, providing containment during drilling after the drill bit penetrates the membrane seal. The drill shroud may be adapted to any industry standard drilling rig and includes a connection conduit for connecting to the flexible sack seal and a flexible enclosure surrounding the drill shaft and of a length to accommodate full extension thereof. Upon withdrawal, the sack seal may be closed off and separated, maintaining containment of the overflow space and the drill shroud.

    摘要: The present invention provides solutions and methods to decompose nitrogen-based energetic materials. The solution is an aqueous solution comprising a water soluble carbohydrate and having a pH greater than 7.0. The solution may optionally include a base. Pure or contaminated nitrogen-based energetic material is exposed to the solution at mild conditions and may be heated to enhance decomposition. The products and by products of the decomposition are water soluble and non-explosive. The solution provides a useful, convenient, and inexpensive method to decompose large quantities of otherwise dangerous energetic material.

    摘要: The invention pertains to a method for reducing the leaching of lead from lead projectile surface. The method includes contacting the lead projectile surface with a lead stabilizing agent or a lead stabilizing agent in the presence of a lead mineral complexing agent. The lead stabilizing agents provides a means to stabilize lead on the bullet/shot surface and thus reduce lead leaching and contact to the environment. This method eliminates the need to remove or re-treat range soils and greatly reduces the environmental and health risks associated with the use of lead as projectiles in the open environment as well as at control trap ranges.
