Anaerobic Dechlorination of PCE to Ethene, Modeling, and Characterization of the Factors Affecting the Transformation Rates

Creator:

Albers, Delancy R.

Abstract:

Tetrachlorethene (PCE) and trichloroethene (TCE) were common solvents used in the 1970’s that are now frequently observed groundwater contaminants. One method of remediating these contaminants is in-situ bioremediation that uses a dechlorinating microbial population. The microbial population performs the sequential reductive dechlorination of PCE and TCE to cis-1,2-dichloroethene (c-DCE), vinyl...
