Creator:: Lukens, Eileen P.
Abstract:: Chlorinated aliphatic hydrocarbons (CAHs) like trichloroethene (TCE) were mostly used to replace drying cleaning fluids which contained hydrocarbons like benzene, and were highly flammable. Through improper disposal, storage, and spills, TCE and its downstream products, like cis-dichloroethene (cDCE) and vinyl chloride (VC), leached into groundwater and threaten human and environmental...

Creator:: Williams, Gillian R.
Abstract:: As access to potable water grows scarce, there is an increasing reliance on alternative drinking water sources, namely groundwater (WHO, 2018). Chlorinated solvents, such as 1,1,1-trichloroethane (TCA) and 1,2-cis-Dichloroethene (cisDCE) are some of the most ubiquitous groundwater contaminants spread throughout the US. 1,4-dioxane (1,4D) was used primarily in the late...

Creator:: Krippaehne, Krysta J.
Abstract:: 1,4-dioxane and chlorinated aliphatic hydrocarbons (CAHs) such as trichloroethylene (TCE) and 1,1-dichloroethene (1,1-DCE) are hazardous compounds commonly found in soil and groundwater. Bioremediation through aerobic cometabolism is a potential option for the remediation of these contaminated sites. The purpose of this study was to examine the use of different primary...

Creator:: Saito, Alyssa M.
Abstract:: The cometabolic ability of Burkholderia vietnamiensis G4 grown on aromatic substrates was first assessed by resting suspended cells, and subsequently for cells encapsulated with and without slow release compounds (SRCs). In Chapter 3, benzyl alcohol was assessed as a food-grade growth substrate for promoting cometabolism of trichloroethene (TCE), via the...

Creator:: Conway, Sean P.
Abstract:: 1,4-Dioxane (dioxane) and cis-dichloroethylene (cDCE) are compounds commonly found in industrial cleaning and degreasing agents that are frequently present as groundwater contaminants. In an effort to develop a more effective treatment method for these compounds, hydrogel beads were fabricated with either gellan gum or a combination of polyvinyl alcohol (PVA)...

Creator:: Rolston, Hannah M.
Abstract:: 1,4-dioxane, a probable human carcinogen at low (< 1ppb) concentrations, has emerged as a groundwater contaminant due to its historical use as a stabilizer for the chlorinated solvent 1,1,1-trichloroethane. Aerobic cometabolism, the use of a primary substrate to induce the production of microbial enzymes that fortuitously degrade other compounds, is...

Creator:: Laurance, Jon C.
Abstract:: Chlorinated solvents are common groundwater pollutants that often exist as mixtures resulting from the use of multiple solvents and their transformation into chlorinated daughter products. These sites are often co-contaminated with the solvent stabilizer 1,4-dioxane (1,4-D), which is not treated by traditional chlorinated solvent remediation techniques. Both 1,4-D and chlorinated...
