The objective of this project is to determine the feasibility of                using electrochemically generated superoxide to rapidly                         dechlorinate organic compounds such as the polychlorinated                      biphenyls, trihalomethanes, chlorinated phenols, benzoic acids,                 and chlorinated polynuclear aromatic hydrocarbons that are                      found in wastewater.  A novel compact electrolytic cell will be                 utilized for generation of the superoxide used to dechlorinate                  the organic compounds.  After dechlorination, the resultant                     products are expected to be more amenable to biochemical                        degradation than they were previously utilizing fixed-film and                  suspended culture, bio-oxidation wastewater treatment                           processes.  The proposal leading to this project was submitted                  in response to NSF 88-8, Program Solicitation for Small                         Business Innovation Research.                                                                                                                                   The contamination of ground and surface waters by organic                       compounds that are the target of this research is a matter of                   great National concern.  It is imperative that technologies be                  developed that are responsive to the need to remove organic                     pollutants from water and wastewater as well as to prepare                      substances that are not readily biodegradable for treatment by                  passage through biotreatment processes.
