Detoxification of Chlorinated Dioxins and Furans in Soils via One-Step, Self-Sustaining Smoldering.
Conventional thermal treatment of halogenated persistent organic pollutants requires energy input and promotes chlorinated byproducts during heating or cooling. Self-sustaining smoldering provides a heat-efficient thermochemical route for dehalogenation in porous soils, but its effectiveness for soils contaminated with...
