Abiotic degradation of chlorinated ethanes and ethenes in water
INTRODUCTION Chlorinated ethanes and ethenes are among the most frequently detected organic pollutants of water. Their physicochemical properties are such that they can contaminate aquifers for decades. In favourable conditions, they can undergo degradation. In anaerobic conditions, chlorinated solvents can undergo reductive dechlorination. DEGRADATION PATHWAYS Abiotic dechlorination is usual...
متن کاملThe role of microbial reductive dechlorination of TCE at a phytoremediation site.
In April 1996, a phytoremediation field demonstration site at the Naval Air Station, Fort Worth, Texas, was developed to remediate shallow oxic ground water (< 3.7 m deep) contaminated with chlorinated ethenes. Microbial populations were sampled in February and June 1998. The populations under the newly planted cottonwood trees had not yet matured to an anaerobic community that could dechlorina...
متن کاملGrowth of Dehalobacter and Dehalococcoides spp. during degradation of chlorinated ethanes.
Mixed anaerobic microbial subcultures enriched from a multilayered aquifer at a former chlorinated solvent disposal facility in West Louisiana were examined to determine the organism(s) involved in the dechlorination of the toxic compounds 1,2-dichloroethane (1,2-DCA) and 1,1,2-trichloroethane (1,1,2-TCA) to ethene. Sequences phylogenetically related to Dehalobacter and Dehalococcoides, two gen...
متن کاملUse of stable isotope analyses to assess natural attenuation of chlorinated ethenes in groundwater
Chlorinated ethenes are among the most frequently detected groundwater contaminants in industrially developed countries. Although their degradation pathways have been understood, assessing the progress of natural attenuation of chlorinated ethenes still remains a challenge. Chlorinated ethenes undergo sequential reductive dechlorination under anoxic conditions; hence, the presence of less chlor...
متن کاملCL:AIRE SABRE bulletins describe specific, practical aspects of research from the LINK Bioremediation Project SABRE, which aimed to develop and demonstrate the effectiveness of in situ enhanced anaerobic bioremediation for the treatment of chlorinated solvent DNAPL
The chlorinated solvents tetrachloroethene (PCE) and trichloroethene (TCE) have been used extensively in industry and are now amongst the most common and hazardous groundwater contaminants (National Research Council, 2004). These solvents are typically present as dense, non-aqueous phase liquids (DNAPLs) and represent long-term source zones that produce persistent contamination plumes in aquife...
