When the pipes are connected, they are cracked and wrapped with a flexible cloth inside the piles, with some air batches with one direction valves, particle filters and a moisture trap. A mechanical mechanism must be connected to the pressure balance for not bursting or breaking the pipe into the piles. Soil layers should be wetted with raw water droplets preferably river water not contaminated with other materials so that they are not muddy and wet only to complete the process.
Allow the movement of air between the pile of soil and the cover by placing tires or hay bales between the pile and the cover. Test the decomposition ratios for both contaminated and leached water in a manner that allows taking samples and not lowering the temperature inside the pile, as a modified procedure. Phytoremediation is a technique use in-suite which use plants to degrade polluted soils with TNT. This method considered as most appropriate methods for sites where other methods of degradation options are not available and effective in terms of low-cost or contaminated sites or in combination with other treatment technologies.
Deep-rooted trees, grasses, legumes and aquatic plants all have applications in the field of phyto remediation. Phytoremediation technique was used to degrade a wide range of organic polluted and explosive materials like TNT, were planets can remove pollutants from groundwater and underground reservoirs, also roots can give support to a wide range of microorganisms in the earth literature.
The nitro group consists of two different elements, N and O, which are both highly electronegative. Oxygen is even more electronegative than the nitrogen atom; hence, the N-O bond is polarized. The nitrite reductase enzymes are capable of performing this electronic duplex donated by reduced pyridine nucleotides, also includes other reduction enzymes that reduce nitroaromatic compounds include aldehyde oxidase, dihydro-lipic amide dehydrogenase, cytochrome b5 reductase, diaphorases, hydrogenases, xanthine oxidase, and CO dehydrogenase.
Nitro group can also be reduced in vitro through single-electron transfers, which form a nitro anion radical. This radical is a putative intermediate in the reduction of a nitro group to a nitroso group, but it canreact with oxygen to produce a superoxide anion and alter the original nitroaromatic compound.
The enzymes that catalyze this reaction are known as oxygen sensitive type II nitro reductases and are found in bacteria such as Clostridium and Escherichia coli. Abiotic redaction can occur for nitro groups to the corresponding amines in sediments, soils, and aquifers. There are many potential donors of electrons in natural systems for eg. Iron and sulfur reduced species, and natural organic materials , which may reduce from nitroaromatic compounds via biodegradation.
TNT material reacts with the siloxane surface of clays to produce covalent groups. Living Microorganisms play a very important role in these biochemical processes but they are still unexplored relatively.
Figure 1 Schematic diagram of soil column reactor. Figure 2 Schematic diagram of soil slurry reactor. Figure 3 Mechanisms for the reduction of nitro groups in nitroaromatic compounds. The first step in nitro group reduction can be achieved through one-electron transfer solid line or two-electron transfer dashed line. The first mechanism produces a nitro anion radical that could react with oxygen to form a superoxide radical and the original nitroaromatic compound through a futile cycle dotted line.
If the mechanism occurs via the transfer of two electrons, the nitroso derivative formed is the first putative intermediate; following two consecutive electron transfers, a hydroxylamine and an aromatic amine are produced.
Biodegradation have an effective role in disposing of organic pollutants by concentrations and type, from these organic pollutants nitro aromatic materials such as TNT, these biodegradations considered very efficiently and the final outputs are environmentally harmless until gradually fade. Fungi, bacteria and some yeasts play a major role in the completion of biodegradation with appropriate, moisture content, with no leakage of water containing dissolved TNT and its derivatives to the surrounding environment, with the limitation of biodegradation in pollution area and far away from water resources.
The first aim of degradation is to change explosion property in normal case of TNT for large quantity after dissolving it in water before mix it with soil, for pure TNT, but for polluted soil with TNT is easier in preparation steps. These biodegradations are preferred to use because they are without hydrocarbon emission products and do not cause any potential damage and side effects, but its take a long period somehow about months. However, this bio degradations characterized by the lack of carbon emission to the atmosphere with no remaining of pollutant in the environment with high concentration.

J Chem Eng Data ;46 6 — Ammonium nitrate is an oxygen-rich explosive, producing more oxygen than it needs, and thus giving a white smoke rather than the black clouds associated with TNT.
Organic nitro compounds are widely used in explosives for a combination of reasons. The kind of organic compounds found in natural gas or petrol make good fuels, as the formation of oxygen-hydrogen bonds and carbon-oxygen double bonds releases a lot of energy and a good deal of hot gas, creating the kind of explosive forces than can drive an engine for example. When they are exploded, nitro-compounds like TNT also produce nitrogen gas, forming very strong nitrogen-nitrogen triple bonds and releasing even more energy.
The oxygen content of the nitro compunds also makes the molecules self-oxidising, and the very short distance between the oxygens and the carbon and hydrogen atoms they are combining with contributes to the speed of the reaction.
As well as being destructive, TNT is also very toxic. In the United States alone, over 17, cases of TNT poisoning were reported during the first world war, causing around deaths of munitions workers due to liver damage and anaemia. By the second world war, safety procedures were tightened up. Cleaning up TNT-contaminated soil around factories or places where TNT has been used has become an important environmental issue and scientists are studying plant systems that can sequester and detoxify TNT.
Chemists have of course tried to improve on TNT, and sometimes with unexpected results. Although it was no use as an explosive, it had a wonderful musky smell and became the forerunner of nitromusks that were the cornerstone of the perfume industry for the next half century.
Today, over a hundred years after TNT was first employed as a military explosive, it is still widely used, notably as an explosive in landmines. Detecting TNT-filled landmines requires skill on the part of sniffer dogs and their handlers. It has only recently been realised that dogs trained to detect TNT landmines are actually responding to traces of an impurity. That impurity is 2,4-dinitrotoluene, or DNT. Although it is only present at a level below 0. People are still trying to make landmine detectors using electronics or chemical systems, but at the present time it is still a job for man's best friend.
Certainly a risky job to have. Now, next week: we venture into the lab and move from explosives to acids. Most of us first come across the trio of strong acids - hydrochloric, nitric and sulphuric - when we venture into a chemistry lab at school.
They aren't the kind of substances you find in the kitchen cupboard at home. Yet I can guarantee that one of these compounds has been part of your life every day since you were a baby. Because hydrochloric acid plays an essential role in your body. Your stomach contains a sizeable quantity of hydrochloric acid and can have a pH as low as 1. And to find out more about the role hydrochloric acid plays in our stomachs, as well as its uses out in industry, join Brian Clegg in next week's Chemistry in it's element.
