Degradation of the lower chlorinated ethenes is crucial to the application of natural attenuation or in situ bioremediation on chlorinated ethene contaminated sites. Recently, within mixtures of several chloroethenes as they can occur in contaminated groundwater inhibiting effects on aerobic chloroethene degradation have been shown. The current study demonstrated that metabolic vinyl chloride (VC) degradation by an enrichment culture originating from groundwater was not affected by an equimolar concentration (50 μM) of cis-1,2-dichloroethene (cDCE). Only cDCE concentrations at a ratio of 2.4:1 (initial cDCE to VC concentration) caused minor inhibition of VC degradation. Furthermore, the degradation of VC was not affected by the presence of trans-1,2-dichloroethene (tDCE), 1,1-dichloroethene (1,1-DCE), trichloroethene (TCE), and tetrachloroethene (PCE) in equimolar concentrations (50 μM). Only cDCE and tDCE were cometabolically degraded in small amounts. The VC-degrading culture demonstrated a broad pH tolerance from 5 to 9 with an optimum between 6 and 7. Results also showed that the culture could degrade VC concentrations up to 1,800 μM (110 mg/L).

Over Time

Natural attenuation of BTEX and characteristics of the water in the study are researched in this paper. The study not only obtain the attenuation rules of BTEX over time, but also the rules of the redox materials of the contaminated groundwater over time. From the study, we reach conclusion that the redox conditions is changed with the increasing pollution of BTEX and the oxidation condition changes into reducing condition. With the changing of the redox condition, there take place a variety of redox reactions. The materials of oxidation, such as O2, NO3-, Fe3+and SO42-, are transformed into reduction materials, such as NO2-, Fe2+, S2- and so on. In this process, the components of BTEX are degradated by micro-organisms which using the oxidation materials as electron acceptors.
