Aromatic hydrocarbon contaminants : investigations of detection methods, bioremediation strategies, and toxicity impacts

Creator:: Huizenga, Juliana M.
Abstract:: Aromatic hydrocarbons represent a large class of environmental contaminants that have a broad range of structures, physicochemical properties, and toxicities. Arising from the burning of organic matter, particularly fossil fuels, they are both widespread and abundant in all environmental compartments. Both monoaromatic hydrocarbons (BTEX) and polycyclic aromatic hydrocarbons (PAHs) are...

Kinetic and modeling investigations of the anaerobic reductive dechlorination of chlorinated ethylenes using single and binary mixed cultures and silicon-based organic compounds as slow-release substrates

Creator:: Yu, Seungho
Abstract:: This study investigated complete reductive dechlorination of chlorinated aliphatic hydrocarbons (CAHs) over a broad range of concentrations. Tetrabutoxysilane (TBOS), as a slow-release anaerobic substrate, was studied for enhanced reductive dechlorination of tetrachioroethylene (PCE) present as a dense non-aqueous liquid (DNAPL). Four different site-mixed cultures were used in the study: Site-300...

Inhibition, kinetic and modeling studies of acetylene and 1-chloro-1-fluoroethene on reductive dechlorination of TCE and vinyl chloride

Creator:: Pon, George
Abstract:: Laboratory and modeling studies were performed with a mixed-anaerobic-culture obtained from the Evanite site in Corvallis, Oregon. The culture completely transforms trichloroethene (TCE) to cis-dichloroethene (c-DCE), vinyl chloride (VC), and finally to ethene. Acetylene inhibition studies were used to examine the culture's microbial activities. Kinetic studies determined the half-saturated constant...

Kinetic and molecular effects of sulfate reduction on a dechlorinating culture under chemostat growth conditions

Creator:: Berggren, Dusty Rose V.
Abstract:: Chlorinated ethenes are common groundwater contaminants that may be treated through in-situ bioremediation. Relationships between the reducing environment, available electron donors and acceptors, reaction kinetics, and microbial community composition must be further understood to successfully engineer remediation schemes in the complex subsurface environment. This thesis work investigated the effect of...

Anaerobic Dehalogenation of Trichloroethene by Encapsulated Dehalococcoides mccartyi

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...

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)...

Electron donor and chlorinated ethene effects on activity and community composition in anaerobic reductively dechlorinating consortia

Creator:: Sabalowsky, Andrew R.
Abstract:: This research focused on anaerobic transformation of trichloroethene (TCE), a groundwater contaminant. The mixed anaerobic Evanite culture (EV) was studied to determine community behavior and composition responses to different electron donors and chloroethene electron acceptors. The potential toxicity from high concentrations of TCE and its daughter product cis-1,2-dichloroethene (cDCE) was...

Cometabolism of 1,4-Dioxane and Chlorinated Aliphatic Hydrocarbons by Pure Cultures of Rhodococcus rhodochrous 21198 and Mycobacterium ELW1 and in Groundwater Microcosms Fed Isobutane and Isobutene as Growth Substrates

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...

Bioaugmentation of Pure and Enriched Cultures Fed Multiple Primary Substrates to Aerobically Cometabolize a Mixture of Chlorinated Solvents and 1,4-dioxane in Microcosms Containing Groundwater from a Department of Defense Site

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...
