Bioremediation. Bioremediation has great appeal. It is a natural process that degrades hazardous organic chemicals into innocuous carbon dioxide and water or nonhazardous byproducts and it is often less expensive and more effective than pump and treat methods. Articles on bioremediation appear regularly in environmental journals and the U.S. EPA has its own regular series of reports on current activities called "Bioremediation in the Pield."... [Pg.169]

The two fluids most often studied in supercritical fluid technology, carbon dioxide and water, are the two least expensive of all solvents. Carbon dioxide is nontoxic, nonflammable, and has a near-ambient critical temperature of 31.1°C. CO9 is an environmentally friendly substitute for organic solvents including chlorocarbons and chloroflu-orocarbons. Supercritical water (T = 374°C) is of interest as a substitute for organic solvents to minimize waste in extraction and reaction processes. Additionally, it is used for hydrothermal oxidation of hazardous organic wastes (also called supercritical water oxidation) and hydrothermal synthesis. [Pg.2000]

Replacement of volatile organic solvents with aqueous systems or less hazardous organic materials improves safety of many processing operations and final products. In evaluating the hazards of a solvent, or any other process chemical, it is essential to consider the properties... [Pg.39]

The reaction was reported by Henry J. Fenton [140]. This reaction is appHed in the treatment of hazardous organic wastes. A search for Fenton reaction in the website ISI Web of Knowledge [141] throws up thousands of scientific papers due to the exponential growth in its use over the years. It has been reviewed in various papers [142-145]. Below, the reaction pathway in the absence of an organic compound is given ... [Pg.128]

As a cautionary note PTC should not be considered a panacea for all of the problems associated with green chemistry. Two-phase reactions involving water are often difficult to deal with industrially, particularly if the water is contaminated with trace amounts of hazardous organic substances. In some cases it may be more practical, cost effective and environmentally prudent to avoid production of aqueous waste in favour of a recyclable less benign solvent. [Pg.120]

To obtain a permit, an owner/operator must demonstrate that emission levels set for various hazardous organic constituents are not exceeded. U.S. EPA s principal measure of incinerator performance is its destruction and removal efficiency (DRE). A 99.99% DRE means that one molecule of an organic compound is released to the air for every 10,000 molecules entering the incinerator. A 99.9999% DRE means that one molecule of an organic compound is released to the air for every 1 million molecules entering the incinerator. [Pg.962]

Furthermore, many SCFs possess economical, technical, environmental, and health advantages. The high volatility of C02, for example, allows it to be completely and easily removed from the product, resulting in an overall solvent-free reaction. scC02 is a promising alternative to hazardous organic solvents.
