Characterization of Bacteria Degrading Petroleum Derivatives Isolated from Contaminated Soil and Water

Dielectric Relaxation of Biological Water†

Dielectric relaxation and NMR spectrum of water in biological systems such as proteins, DNA, and reverse micelles can often be described by two widely different time constants, one of which is in the picosecond while the other is in the nanosecond regime. Although it is widely believed that the bimodal relaxation arises from water at the hydration shell, a quantitative understanding of this imp...

In-Situ Bioremediation of Contaminated Ground Water

Walter W. Kovalick, Jr., Ph.D. Director An emerging technology for the remediation of ground water is the use of microorganisms to degrade contaminants which are present in aquifer materials. Understanding the processes which drive in-situ bioremediation, as well as the effectiveness and efficiency of the utilization of these systems, are issues which have been identified by the Regional Superf...

Remediation of MTBE Contaminated Water and Soil

As the number of leaking underground fuel tank sites with MTBE contamination continues to grow, there is a need to develop cost-effective solutions for treatment of soil and water contamination. MTBE poses special challenges due to its physicochemical properties, in particular high solubility and low Henry’s constant, low affinity for sorption, and very slow rate of microbial degradation. Advan...
