According to the vendor, the CAV-OX technology treats contaminants such as halogenated solvents, phenol, pentachlorophenol (PCP) pesticides trichloroethene (TCE) polychlorinated biphenyls (PCBs) explosives benzene, toluene, ethylbenzene, and xylene (BTEiX) methyl tertiary butyl ether bacteria and virus strains and cyanide.

Figure 3.17 Birefringence as a function of the eigenvalue of the velocity gradient tensor, G, for planar flows generated in a four-roll mill, for dilute solutions of polystyrenes of three different molecular weights in polychlorinated biphenyl solvent. Here G is the strain rate and a the flow type parameter. For planar extension, a — 1 and G = is the extension rate for simple shear, a = 0 and G = y is the shear rate. The different symbols correspond to a values of 1.0 (0)> 0.8 (A), 0.5 (-1-), and 0.25 (diamonds). The curves are theoretical predictions from the FENE dumbbell model, including conformation-dependent drag (discussed in Section 3.6.2.2.2).

The degradation of polychlorinated biphenyls has been established in a number of organisms enriched with biphenyl as carbon source, for example, Pseudomonas sp. strain LB400 (Bopp 1986), Alcaligenes eutrophus strain H850 (Bedard et al. 1987), and P. pseudoalcaligenes (Furukawa and Arimura 1987). Further details are discussed in Chapter 6, Section 6.5.1.1.
