The soil used in this study was a peat collected at Picatinny Arsenal, New Jersey. The peat was air dried for 24 hr and then heated at 105°C for 24 hr. 

Finally, Chapters 14 and 15 address the remediation of the unsaturated zone. In Chapter 14, researchers from the University of Virginia study the effects of natural atmospheric pressure variations on the flow of air into and out of the unsaturated zone at the Picatinny Arsenal in northern New Jersey. This barometric pumping contributes to the natural remediation of the shallow, trichloroethylene-contaminated groundwater. In the last chapter of the book, Richard Meixner and co-workers present a detailed field study documenting the effectiveness of soil-vapor extraction to remediate gasoline hydrocarbons in the unsaturated zone.

Similar studies have been conducted at Crane AAP, Iowa AAP, Holston AAP, and Picatinny Arsenal. It is difficult to compare performance data from these studies, however, because each study operated under different treatment conditions. Some used 40-watt, low pressure, UV bulbs others used 65-watt, medium pressure, UV bulbs. Some amended the water with hydrogen peroxide (HjOj) others did not. The studies also used different concentrations and species of contaminant, different total residence times, and different concentrations of ozone. In addition, some of the studies used simulated pink water, which usually lacks many of the constituents of real pink water. 

AmieP suggested in 1934 the use of bis- or trisethylenediamine copper chlorates or perchlorates for use in primers. Tomlinson et probably made the first fairly systematic study of the explosive properties of certain chromium (III) and cobalt (HI) complex salts. Me-dard and Barlot concentrated on the di- and trihydrazine metal (II) nitrates, especially of nickel, as primary explosives. Use of complex salts as low detonation pressure explosives, reported by Abegg and Meikle and performed by Fronabarger, Hoppesch, and Rittenhouse of UMC Industries was based on the authors suggestions, as was earlier, classified work for Picatinny Arsenal whose subject was the increase of the burning rate of a solid propellant by admixture of such compounds.

Weathering studies after exposures up to one year were also made by Picatinny Arsenal on the adhesives covered in Table 10.8, along with several additional adhesives. The results are given in Table 10.9 as percent retention of original joint strength. In addition to controls, the following climates were used ...
