| Abstract |
Experiments were performed to determime the practicability of removing alpha TNT from water by using iron filings. In preliminary experiments, it was observed that alpha TNT was completely removed from solution by a one inch diameter filter with a twelve inch depth of iron filings. Quantitative experiments indicated that an average dose of 920 ml. per day of waste can be treated by 398 g. of iron filings for 65 days before the filtrate shows the presence of TNT, and a total of 5.453 g. of TNT can be removed before it becomes necessary to replace the iron. Short time filterations will remove about nine times the average daily rate indicated. (Author) |
