Linear free energy relationships for the biotic and abiotic reduction of nitroaromatic compounds.
Nitroaromatic compounds (NACs) are ubiquitous environmental contaminants that are susceptible to biological and abiotic reduction. Prior works have found that for the abiotic reduction of NACs, the logarithm of the NACs’ rate constants correlate with one-electron reduction potential values of the NACs (EH,NAC1) according to linear free energy relationships (LFERs). Here, we extend the applicati...
متن کاملMicroscale Characterization of the Location and Association of TNT in Soils
INTRODUCTION: Numerous ammunition manufacturing facilities and ammunition testing sites across the world are faced with environmental problems associated with soils contaminated with trinitrotoluene (TNT) and other nitroaromatic compounds. Although a number of TNT treatment technologies have been developed recently [1,2], these techniques do not result in a high degree of mineralization of the ...
متن کاملThe Fate of Nitroaromatic (tnt) and Nitramine (rdx and Hmx) Explosives in Fractured and Weathered Soils
We investigated the fate of explosives compounds in slurries containing fractured and weathered soil particles. Three soils were crushed with a piston to emulate detonation-induced fracturing. We used X-ray diffraction, scanning electron microscopy and gas adsorption surface area measurements to quantify the mineralogies and surfaces of the weathered and fractured soil particles. Soil batch slu...
متن کاملUsing nitrogen isotope fractionation to assess abiotic reduction of nitroaromatic compounds.
Compound-specific isotope analysis (CSIA) is an increasingly important tool for the qualitative and quantitative assessment of transformations of organic compounds in contaminated environments. To date, the use of CSIA has been mainly restricted to the elements C and H, although Nconstitutes a very important reactive centerfor many priority contaminants. To evaluate the potential use of N isoto...
متن کاملSorption of nitroaromatics to soils: comparison of the importance of soil organic matter versus clay.
Nitroaromatic compounds are produced and used in large quantities worldwide and are frequently detected contaminants in the environment. Sorption is one of the fundamental processes controlling the transport and availability of nitroaromatics, but previous studies have focused mainly on sorption to model clay minerals, whereas little attention has been paid to the sorptive interactions with nat...
