Electrochemical treatment of munitions constituents (MC) is an emerging technology for the remediation of explosive compounds in wastewater. This process utilizes electrochemical oxidation mechanisms to degrade both legacy explosives, as well as newer insensitive high explosives. The treatment relies on direct electron transfer reactions and the generation of highly reactive hydroxyl radicals at the electrode surface. Recent research has elucidated the oxidation pathways and byproducts for various munitions constituents, demonstrating the potential of electrochemical methods as an effective and environmentally friendly alternative to traditional adsorption-based treatments for explosive-contaminated water.
