Methods and materials for containment and cleaning up
Ion exchange is an ex situ technology used to remove perchlorate from drinking water, groundwater, surface water, and environmental media at full scale. ... The most commonly used ion exchange media are synthetic, strongly basic, anion exchange resins. Ion exchange has been used at sites to reduce perchlorate concentrations to less than 4 ug/L. Its effectiveness is sensitive to a variety of untreated water contaminants and characteristics. It has also been used as a polishing step for other water treatment processes such as biological treatment of perchlorate. Ion exchange of perchlorate in environmental media and drinking water is commercially available. Information is available on 15 full-scale applications, including 11 applications for environmental media, and four applications for drinking water. Three pilot-scale applications for groundwater also have been identified. ...For the 14 groundwater projects (11 full scale and three pilot scale), influent perchlorate concentrations ranged from 10 ug/L to 350,000 ug/L. Effluent concentrations of perchlorate ranged from non-detectable at a detection limit of 0.35 ug/L to 2,000 ug/L. Of the four drinking water projects, performance data were available for only one project. The initial concentration of perchlorate in this project ranged from 20 to 50 ug/L, while the final concentration was below the detection limit of 4 ug/L. ...Cleanup goals varied by site and type of project. Perchlorates

SECTION 10: Stability and reactivity
Reactivity
May decompose on shock, friction, concussion or heating. The substance is a strong oxidant. It reacts violently with combustible and reducing materials and metals. This produces toxic and corrosive fumes including ammonia and hydrogen chloride. This generates fire and explosion hazard.
Chemical stability
no data available
Possibility of hazardous reactions
IGNITES VIOLENTLY WITH COMBUSTIBLES.AMMONIUM PERCHLORATE is a strong oxidizing agent. Decomposes at 130°C and explodes at 380°C [Mellor 2 Supp. 1:608 1956]. Explosions have occurred in propellant formulations containing ammonium perchlorate to which ferrocene has been added as a burning rate catalyst. Although the cause was not been definitely established, it was most probably frictional heating from dragging a spatula through the mixture [ASESB Expl. Report 211 1966]. Can explode when mixed with sugar, charcoal or on contact with hot copper pipes. Becomes impact-sensitive when contaminated by powdered carbon, ferrocene, sulfur, or other reducing materials such as organic matter or powdered metals.

Persistence and degradability
ANAEROBIC: Microorganisms isolated from soil have been found to reduce perchlorates under anaerobic conditions using laboratory tests(1). Perchlorate applied to Yolo loam at a concentration of 180 mg/L and incubated anaerobically under flooded conditions was completely biodegraded after 30 days(1). No loss was observed using a Columbia loam soil(1). The facultative anaerobes belonging to the genera Riemerella, Acidovorax and Azoarcus together may be capable of perchlorate reduction(2). However, nitrate does interfere with perchlorate reduction(3). Using sediment and soil samples obtained from two Texas sites associated historically with perchlorate discharge, anaerobic microcosms studies indicate that rapid perclorate degradation did not occur until nitrate was degraded to a relatively low level(3).
Bioaccumulative potential
Using a plant-mediated treatment of perchlorate-contaminated water, perchlorate uptake occurred in eastern cottonwoods (Populus deltoides and hybrid populus), Eucalyptus cineria, and willow (Salix nigra) in sand bioreactors. Perchlorate uptake in willows was found initially rapid at a rate that was linear with the volume of water evapotranspired by the tree until a plateau was reached. From an initial application of 88.8 mg (96.4 mg/L), the total amounts of perchlorate in root, lower stem, upper stem, and leaf after 26 days were 0.04, 0.18, 0.34 and 0.48 mg, respectively. 11% of the perchlorate was not accounted for and believed to be degraded in the leaves(1).
Mobility in soil
Ammonium perchlorate readily dissolves and dissociates to the perchlorate ion(1). The perchlorate ion is only weakly absorbed to mineral surfaces of moderate ionic strength(1). The ion exhibits high aqueous solubility and together these properties contribute to its ability to readily migrate in groundwater systems(2).
Other adverse effects

SECTION 13: Disposal considerations
Disposal methods
The material can be disposed of by removal to a licensed chemical destruction plant or by controlled incineration with flue gas scrubbing. Do not contaminate water, foodstuffs, feed or seed by storage or disposal. Do not discharge to sewer systems.
Containers can be triply rinsed (or equivalent) and offered for recycling or reconditioning. Alternatively, the packaging can be punctured to make it unusable for other purposes and then be disposed of in a sanitary landfill. Controlled incineration with flue gas scrubbing is possible for combustible packaging materials.
