METHODS OF CARBON DISULFIDE TREATMENT

摘要

A method of remediating a substance contaminated with carbon disulfide, wherein the substance is contacted with iron, is described. The degradation of carbon disulfide by iron occurs due to a redox reaction, and results in iron sulfates and sulfides. The contacting of the iron and contaminated substance can be carried out either in-situ or ex-situ. In-situ methods include the use of reactive zones such as Permeable Reactive Barriers (PRBs). The invention provides a simple but effective method of treatment to remediate substances such as soil and groundwater contaminated with carbon disulfide.
