| Abstract | MTBE and ETBE, gasoline oxygenates, are recalcitrant compounds capable of withstanding microbial and chemical attack. These compounds are also substantial contaminants of groundwater, surface water, and atmosphere. A new remedial treatment system utilizing peroxy-acid action has been investigated. The peroxy-acid is formed between an organic acid and hydrogen peroxide. The resultant hydroxyl radical acts upon the compound of interest. While other advanced oxidation processes have not yielded significant pollutant degradation, Peroxy-acids have been shown to act upon recalcitrant compounds in a timely manner. The process makes the pollutant more bioavailaole Whilst concurrently causing degradation. In a time course study, MTBE concentrations decreased 30% and new products were formed. In ongoing and future work, we will |
