CMS Docket No. 370098-2790 ABSTRACT OF THE DISCLOSURE A method for substantially degrading and detoxifying soils contaminated with haloorganic compounds is shown. The method comprises contacting a soil, sediment, or sludge containing less that 5% by weight of a haloorganic contaminant, with a reagent of the formula MX, where M is a metal selected from the group consisting of K, Na, Ca, Zn, Mg, Ba, Pb, and X is hydroxide, carbonate, oxide, or acetate. The contact and subsequent reaction is carried out under conditions which insure the phase compatibility of the haloorganic contaminant and the reagent, and preferably under anhydrous conditions. The contact is carried out for a time sufficient to effect the dehalogenation of at least 90% of the contaminant.
