These oxidation methods are known to effectively degrade and, in Item. several cases, mineralize contaminants ranging from inorganic compounds (such as cyanides) to ents chlorinated aliphatic compounds and complex aromatic compounds in reaction times on the order of a live. few minutes to a few hours. Of the three oxidation systems discussed, the technology for the edit UV/H2O2 process is the most advanced, with numerous successful full-scale treatment units already in JrML existence. Applications of both the Fenton's reagent and TiO2-assisted photodegradation processes are currently being developed, with the concepts proven in numerous laboratory-scale studies for a wide range of contaminants.

  • Technical Background Document (U.S
    Part 5: CHEMICAL-SPECIFIC PARAMETERS Chemical-specific parameters required for calculating soil screening levels include the organic carbon normalized soil-water partition coefficient for organic compounds (Koc), the soil-water partition coefficient for inorganic constituents (Kd), water solubility (S), Henry's law constant (HLC, HN), air diffusivity (Di,a), and water diffusivity (Di,w). In addition, the octanol-water partition coefficient (Kow) is needed to calculate Koc values. This part of the background document describes the collection and compilation of these parameters for the SSL chemicals. With the exception of values for air diffusivity (Di,a), water diffusivity (Di,w), and certain Koc values, all of the values used in the development of SSLs can be found in the Superfund Chemical Data Matrix (SCDM). SCDM is a computer code that includes more than 25 datafiles containing specific chemical parameters used to calculate factor and benchmark values for the Hazard Ranking System (HRS). Because SCDM datafiles are regularly updated, the user should consult the most recent version of SCDM to ensure that the values are up to date. 5.1 Solubility, Henry's Law Constant, and Kow Chemical-specific values for solubility, Henry's law constant (HLC), and Kow were obtained from SCDM. In the selection of the value for SCDM, measured or analytical values are favored over calculated values. However, in the event that a measured value is not available, calculated values are used. Table 36 presents the solubility, Henry's law constant, and Kow values taken from SCDM and used to calculate SSLs. Henry's law constant values were available for all but two of the constituents of interest.

Activities have been compared after extended times on stream (18 h) and under a H2 containing atmosphere at elevated pressure which is designed to mimic conditions applicable for the single stage transformation of acetone to MIBK. In general, catalysts without a strong hydrogenation function have been screened and so mesityl oxide is the dominant reaction product. However, 1%Pd5%MgO/SiO2 does exhibit high selectivity towards MIBK, demonstrating that single-stage conversion is possible under the conditions investigated. Catalytic activity is found to be a strong function of the material tested.
