Bioremediation of chlorinated solvents 3(4)

Technical Report ·
OSTI ID:544466
These articles discuss aerobic and anaerobic biological degradation for dehalogenating sites contaminated with pesticides and chlorinated solvents such as trichloroethylene, tetrachloroethene, tetrachloromethene, perchloroethylene, carbon tetrachloride, pentachlorophenal, and chlorinated benzene. Bench- and field-scale studies of the biological processes associated with in situ dechlorination of soil and aquifers are described, as are microcosm studies, numerical simulations, and site characteristics and their effect on the stability of methanotrophic community. Methods discussed include air venting, alternative electron donors, biofilm reactors, surfactants, municipal digester sludge, iron enhancement, and sulfate reduction to improve conditions for microbial consortia.
