Abstract

Chemical oxidation was evaluated for treatment of a groundwater contaminated with trichloroethylene, acetone, and other organic compounds as measured by the biochemical oxygen demand (BOD) test. Results indicated that maximum contaminant removal was obtained using a combination of hydrogen peroxide, high intensity ultraviolet light, and the addition of tungsten trioxide under acidic conditions.
