Abstract:: Mixtures of 1,4-dioxane (1,4-D) and chlorinated aliphatic hydrocarbons (CAHs) are common and hazardous groundwater contaminants that can be challenging to address with traditional remediation strategies. Bioremediation through aerobic cometabolism has the potential to be an effective in-situ treatment strategy for these contaminants. Rhodococcus rhodochrous strain ATCC 21198 is capable of...

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:: 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...

Creator:: Rasmussen, Mitchell T.
Abstract:: Methods were developed for the co-encapsulation of slow release compounds (SRC) with viable microbial cells in alginate and gellan gum hydrogel beads, for the in-situ aerobic cometabolic treatment of groundwater contaminated with mixtures of 1,4-dioxane and chlorinated aliphatic hydrocarbons, which will be referred to as contaminants of concern (CoC). The...
