Chung %J Analele Universitatii Bucuresti : Chimie %D 2009 %I %X This paper describes the character of the reduction of TNR by ZVI in anaerobic conditions and the oxidative reaction of amine resorcine in the system of ZVI-EDTA-O2. The products of TNR by ZVI in anaerobic conditions were amine resorcine compounds. These compounds tend to be easier to oxidize by the generated in the system of ZVI-EDTA-O2. HPLC and Chemical Oxygen Demand analysis (COD) were used to monitor the efficiency of reactions. The experiments have suggested that the removal of TNR from groundwater should be implemented by a two step process. The first step is reduction of TNR by ZVI to form amine resorcine. The second step is oxidation of amine resorcine in a system consisting of ZVI-EDTA-O2. From the obtained results, a model for TNR contaminated groundwater treatment has been suggested and tested. %K TNR compounds %K Reduction of TNR %K Oxidation of TNR %K Treatment of TNR %U http://gw-chimie.math.unibuc.ro/anunivch/2009-2/AUBCh1827783.pdf
