Title: EM 14 - Bubbleless Gas Transfer Technology for the In Situ Remediation of Chlorinated Hydrocarbons

Technical Report ·
DOI:https://doi.org/10.2172/3837· OSTI ID:3837

The primary objective of this project is to demonstrate the ability of hydrogen to supply reducing equivalents for the reductive dehalogenation of PCE. This objective will be accomplished by two types of activities. First, laboratory experiments will compare the kinetics of hydrogen-mediated dehalogenation with natural routes of loss (hydrolysis and natural attenuation). Secondly, bench-scale column experiments will be performed to demonstrate hydrogen-mediated reductive dehalogenation in aquifer sediments.
