Abstract
AbstractA new and effective method has been developed for the treatment of VOC's, PCB's and other toxic organics. Direct UV photolysis of organics is achieved with this new method with the use of high intensity ultraviolet light of a broad UV spectrum. Standard and novel UV flashlamps can be used for generation of this broad UV spectrum. The pulsing nature of such spectrum helps to increase the efficiency of destruction of toxics. The final products of this destruction process are non‐toxic simple compounds. The energy efficiency of this new process exceeds that of traditional UV aided processes with medium pressure mercury lamps. This article reviews the Direct UV Photolysis Process, gives experimental results, and provides recommendations for applications in the treatment of groundwater, wastewater, contaminated air and soil.
