Editorial Reviews

Volume six of the proceedings considers the application of chemical oxidation to environmental problems, particularly treating wastewater, groundwater, hazardous waste, and air. Among the 22 topics are the design of an advanced oxidation process for decolorizing reactive dye waste using Fenton's reagent, a comparison of chlorine and bromine for chemical oxidation and disinfection, chlorine dioxide for disinfecting secondary effluent, oxidizing secondary alcohols and sulfides by halamine polymers, the wet-air oxidation of phenolic compounds, and the catalyzed chemical oxidation of VOCs.
