A mathematical model is presented, which describes the redox reactions, and suggests that electron transfer/organic release from the oxide surface is rate limiting with the reaction apparently proceeding through a free-radical formation. Results indicate significant oxidation of the organics, that the oxidation of the diols is kinetically more favorable than that of the dione, and that lower molecular weight PNAs containing diol and dione functional groups are susceptible to abiotic-catalyzed oxidation, thereby suggesti...","PeriodicalId":386820,"journal":{"name":"Hazardous waste and hazardous materials","volume":"1 1","pages":"0"},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"1900-01-01","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"134429233","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":0,"RegionCategory":"","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

Such a treatment system is then able to both efficiently and cost-effectively remediate the contaminants present. In this case study, laboratory treatability studies were initially used to demonstrate that toluic acids present in an industrial landfill leachate were amenable to biological treatment. A continuous flow submerged fixed-film bioreactor was then chosen as the optimal equipment design for use at the site. The system was designed to treat a leachate flow of 800 to 2,000 gallons per day (gpd) containing total isomeric toluic acid concentrations of 300 to 400 parts per million (ppm). The treatment equipment has been in continuous operation since July 1987.
