Abstract: What is disclosed is a novel toxic waste remediation system designed to provide on-site destruction of a wide variety of hazardous organic volatile hydrocarbons, including but not limited to halogenated and aromatic hydrocarbons in the vapor phase. This invention utilizes a detoxification plenum and radiation treatment which transforms hazardous organic compounds into non-hazardous substances.

Abstract: An electron beam source or generator is described for the treatment of toxic materials in a treatment system in which electron beams are reacted with a flowing influent in a reaction chamber. The system is modular allowing different configurations as demanded by the site and by the clean-up job. It is also portable in that it can be easily moved from place to place. If mounted on a movable base it can be taken from place to place for use.

Abstract: An electron beam source or generator is described for the treatment of materials, such as toxics, as influent in a reaction chamber. Preferred embodiments of the system include a source of an oxidizing agent in fluid communication with the influent. The oxidizing agent together with a dose of electron beam promotes reaction of the contaminant into less toxic forms so as to provide greatly enhanced destruction of contaminant that are otherwise resistant to oxidizing reactions.
