ALTERNATIVE TREATMENT TECHNOLOGIES TO OPEN BURNING AND OPEN DETONATION OF ENERGETIC HAZARDOUS WASTES
U.S. EPA, Office of Resource Conservation and Recovery, Washington, DC.
EPA 530-R-19-007, 83 pp, 2019

The purpose of this report is to identify and describe alternative treatment technologies that can reduce the reliance on open burning and open detonation (OB/OD) to destroy military munitions and other energetic materials. Many of the developed technologies have been tested and demonstrated to prove their capabilities in terms of the types of energetic materials they can destroy safely. Thus, this report also identifies the extent to which individual technologies have been developed, implemented, and used. It does not attempt to provide a comprehensive analysis of the technologies' efficacy for various waste streams, nor does it attempt to compare their advantages and disadvantages. https://nepis.epa.gov/Exe/ZyPURL.cgi?Dockey=P100Y4FP.txt
