Recent advances in application of catalysis to problems of waste destructio
n and off-gas treatment in the nuclear industry are presented: destruction
of mixed organic wastes in a fluidized catalyst bed, mixed waste oxidation
in catalytically active molten salts, selective catalytic reduction of NOx,
in off-gases, catalytic oxidation of H-2 in the ventilation exhaust from l
iquid waste tanks and catalytic removal of VOCs in processes of groundwater
and soil remediation. (C)2000 Elsevier Science B.V. All rights reserved.
