“…Although incineration of TNT is widely used, this is typically known as the most expensive way to degrade TNT in various media. Recently, advanced oxidation processes (AOP) using Fenton, UV-H 2 O 2 , O 3 -H 2 O 2 , TiO 2 -photocatalysis and gamma irradiation have been proposed for the decomposition of explosives [12][13][14][15][16][17]. These processes utilize hydroxyl radical that has a redox potential of 2.8 V. Hydroxyl radical is an extremely strong oxidant capable of oxidizing any molecule it encounter, representing high reaction rate constants for organic compounds, 10 8 to 10 10 M −1 s −1 [18].…”
