Microcosm study of enhanced biotransformation of vinyl chloride to ethylene with TCE additions under anaerobic conditions from Point Mugu, California

Creator:: Pang, Incheol Jonathan
Abstract:: This microcosm study demonstrated the enhanced anaerobic transformation of vinyl chloride (VC) to ethylene. A previous microcosm study from Point Mugu site showed the accumulation of VC due to the slow transformation step of VC to ethylene. To overcome the rate-limiting step, two laboratory experiments tested the effect of trichloroethylene...

The effect of silver ions and nanoparticles on biofilms and planktonic cultures of Nitrosomonas europaea

Creator:: Giska, Jonathan R.
Abstract:: Due to the effective antimicrobial properties of silver nanoparticles they represent a significant proportion of all consumer-‐related nanomaterials. The introduction of silver nanoparticles from these products into domestic and industrial wastewater streams poses potential complications for biological treatment systems. A critical component of biological treatment that is extremely sensitive to...

Effect of electron donors on the reductive dechlorination of trichlorofluoroethylene in anaerobic microcosms and in situ push-pull tests

Creator:: Louie, Erika N.
Abstract:: This research focuses on the anaerobic transformation of trichloroethylene (TCE) that is occurring in the subsurface of the Evanite site in Corvallis, OR. Two anaerobic studies were conducted to investigate the effects of microbial communities in the presence of different electron donors during the anaerobic degradation of trichlorofluoroethylene (TCFE), and...

Numerical simulation of anaerobic reductive dechlorination of CAHs in continuous flow systems

Creator:: Mustafa, Nizar Ahmad
Abstract:: Halogenated organic compounds have had widespread and massive applications in industry, agriculture, and private households, for example, as degreasing solvents, flame retardants and in polymer production. They are released to the environment through both anthropogenic and natural sources. The most common chlorinated solvents present as contaminants include tetrachloroethene (PCE, perchloroethene)...

Aerobic Cometabolism of 1,4-Dioxane and cis-Dichloroethylene by Gellan Gum and Polyvinyl Alcohol/Sodium Alginate Hydrogel Beads Co-Encapsulated with Rhodococcus rhodochrous Strain ATCC 21198 and Slow-Release Growth Substrates: Batch, Column, and Toxicity Studies

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)...

Evaluation in a Physical Aquifer Model the Long-Term Performance of a Permeable Reactive Bio-Barrier Packed with Co-encapsulated Gellan Gum Beads for the Bioremediation of Chlorinated Compounds and Co-Contaminants

Creator:: Wortkoetter, Jacob
Abstract:: Chlorinated solvents are a class of widespread groundwater contaminants that are toxic, carcinogenic, and difficult to remediate at low concentrations. 1,4-dioxane, a suspected carcinogen, is often a co-contaminant found in mixtures of chlorinated solvent plumes. In-situ bioremediation methods of degrading these chemicals through aerobic cometabolism have shown promise. Permeable Reactive...

Experimental demonstration and modeling of aerobic cometabolism of 1,4-dioxane by isobutane-utilizing microorganisms in aquifer microcosms

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...

Transformation of Carbon Tetrachloride and Chloroform by Trichloroethene Respiring Anaerobic Mixed Cultures and Supernatant

Creator:: Vickstrom, Kyle E.
Abstract:: Carbon tetrachloride (CT) and chloroform (CF) were transformed in batch reactor experiments conducted with anaerobic dechlorinating cultures and supernatant (ADC+S) harvested from continuous flow reactors. The Evanite (EV-5L) and Victoria/Stanford (VS-5L) cultures capable of respiring trichloroethene (TCE), 1,2-cis-dichloroethene (cDCE), and vinyl chloride (VC) to ethene (ETH) were grown in continuous...

Creator:: Bailey, Kestrel
Abstract:: CisCis-Dichloroethylene (ciscis-DCE), 1,1,1-Trichloroethane (1,1,1-TCA), and 1,4-Dioxane (1,4-D) are chlorinated solvents used as solvents and degreasers in industrial cleaning agents that have become common groundwater contaminants. To develop an effective treatment method for these compounds, polyvinyl alcohol (PVA) and sodium alginate (SA) hydrogel beads were co-entrappcapsulated with Rhodococcus rhodochrous Strain ATCC...

The Vadose Zone as a Hyporheic Carbon Source : A Look at Temporal Trends in Hyporheic Zone pCO₂

Creator:: Brandes, Jason B.
Abstract:: Stream chemistry studies conducted in the forested Watershed 1 of the HJ Andrews Experimental Forest show a contribution of CO2 from the hyporheic zone. Hyporheic CO₂ concentrations, measured as pCO₂, have a seasonal trend as well as a responsiveness to storm events. Concentrations are highest at the end of the...
