In-situ bioremediation of chlorinated solvents - A review
Conference
·
OSTI ID:10166320
This review focuses on the in-situ bioremediation of chlorinated organic solvents. This group of compounds is one of the most widespread contaminant classes and one of the most troublesome to remediate. They are found nationwide in municipal and industrial waste waters, landfills and landfill leachates, industrial sludges, waste disposal sited, and groundwaters. Chlorinated alkanes and alkenes, such as trichloroethane (TCA) and trichloroethylene (TCE), are used as dry cleaning fluids, refrigerants, degreasing agents, solvents, and in the the production of decaffinated coffee. The review will include a discussion of laboratory-scale research, some field application considerations, and a review of a full-scale remediation study.
