| Summary: | ' and 0.002 @M, respectively. Data applied to the Andrews (RDX). While previous HMX biodegradation studies focused on 05 [mM. This study evaluated the feasibility of HMX biodegradation under reduced-oxygen conditions. concentrations of 3.596 [mM and higher. The Monod kinetic dissolved oxygen levels to 1.0 mg/L within 6 hours of explosives. Consequently, many munitions facilities and from 69.8% to 82.3% with performance declining at HMX initiation. Over 18 days., HMX transformation rates ranged mixed consortia of acclimated microorganisms when model determined the inhibition coefficient, Ki, to be 0. 1 other related sites have been contaminated with HMX and the parameters, [m-max,, and Ks, were determined to be 1.60 days- periodically supplemented with carbon and nitrogen. The rapid uptake of carbon and nitrogen resulted in reduced Since World War II, octahydro-1,3,5,7-tetranitro-1,3,5,7- structurally similar hexahydro-1,3,5-trinitro-1,3,5-triazine tetrazocine (HMX) has been one of the most widely used that HMX could be degraded in the presence of oxygen by a the anaerobic degradation, these experiments demonstrated |
