Biological reductive dechlorination of tetrachloroethylene and trichloroethylene to ethylene under methanogenic conditions.
A biological process for remediation of groundwater contaminated with tetrachloroethylene (PCE) and trichloroethylene (TCE) can only be applied if the transformation products are environmentally acceptable. Studies with enrichment cultures of PCE- and TCE-degrading microorganisms provide evidence that, under methanogenic conditions, mixed cultures are able to completely dechlorinate PCE and TCE...
متن کاملBiotransformation of tetrachloroethylene to trichloroethylene, dichloroethylene, vinyl chloride, and carbon dioxide under methanogenic conditions.
Tetrachloroethylene (PCE) and trichloroethylene (TCE), common industrial solvents, are among the most frequent contaminants found in groundwater supplies. Due to the potential toxicity and carcinogenicity of chlorinated ethylenes, knowledge about their transformation potential is important in evaluating their environmental fate. The results of this study confirm that PCE can be transformed by r...
متن کاملRole of methanogenic and sulfate-reducing bacteria in the reductive dechlorination of tetrachloroethylene in mixed culture.
Several reports have demonstrated biotransformation of tetrachloroethylene at low concentrations under strict anaerobic conditions by sequential reductive dechlorination (Fathepure and Boyd, 1988a; Freedman and Gosset, 1989). During this biodegradation, trichloroethylene (TCE), 1,1dichloroethylene, vinylidene chloride (DCE), and vinyl chloride (VC) are the intermediate products ; ethene or etha...

متن کاملEnhanced reductive dechlorination of trichloroethylene by sulfidated nanoscale zerovalent iron.
Direct injection of reactive nanoscale zerovalent iron particles (NZVI) is considered to be a promising approach for remediation of aquifers contaminated by chlorinated organic pollutants. In this study we show that the extent of sulfidation of NZVI enhances the rate of dechlorination of trichloroethylene (TCE) compared to that by unamended NZVI, and the enhancement depends on the Fe/S molar ra...
