The therapy machine also may include a collimator that changes the width of a fan beam of radiation as a treatment volume of the patient crosses the volume exposed by the beam so as to minimize the irradiation of healthy tissue at the front and back of the tumor. The width of the fan beam may be controlled to treat multiple adjacent, similar slices of the patient at one time reducing the treatment duration.

Two-stage remediation of particulate material containing organic contaminants

Methods and systems are provided for two-stage treatment of contaminated particulate material (100), such as soil, sediment, and/or sludge. The methods and systems utilize a thermal desorption process combined with a smoldering combustion process. The contaminated particulate material is first exposed to thermal desorption at high temperatures (e.g., greater than 150°C) to form a heated contaminated particulate material. Next, a smoldering combustion process is initiated by introducing a combustion- supporting gas. The combined process can take place in the same or different treatment units. Treating the particulate material with a thermal desorption process prior to a smoldering combustion process enhances the completeness and throughput compared to operating these processes separately.
