Trimsol cutting oil

In contrast to Ag(I), the ions Ce(III), Co(II) and Fe(II) remain soluble in the presence of halide ions liberated during the destruction of halogenated organics. Thus Co(III) is a halide-tolerant mediator. Destruction rates greater than 3L/d have been achieved with EG. Treatability studies of Trimsol cutting oil contaminated with various radionuclides were discussed by Hickman et al. [306],... 

Approximately 30,000 gallons of contaminated Trimsol cutting oil have also accumulated at DOE sites. The organic fraction of this mixed waste is believed to contain a hydrocarbon oil, 4-chloro-3-methyl phenol, diethyleneglycol ether, and propylene glycol.
