Influence of pH on dehalogenating bacteria for bioremediation of chlorinated solvents

David Andrew Barry, Christof Holliger, Alessandro Brovelli, Elsa Marina Lacroix

Chloroethenes such as tetrachloroethene (PCE) and trichloroethene (TCE) are among the most prevalent contaminants in groundwater due to their extensive use in industrial processes. In situ bioremediation (ISB) is an attractive technology for removal of the ...

X-ray structures of general anaesthetics bound to a pentameric ligand-gated ion channel

General anaesthetics have enjoyed long and widespread use but their molecular mechanism of action remains poorly understood. There is good evidence that their principal targets are pentameric ligand-gated ion channels (pLGICs) such as inhibitory GABA(A) (γ ...

Insights and Modelling Tools for Designing and Improving Chlorinated Solvent Bioremediation Applications

David Andrew Barry, Alessandro Brovelli, Clare Robinson

The chlorinated solvents tetrachloroethene (PCE) and trichloroethene (TCE) have been used extensively in industry and are now amongst the most common and hazardous groundwater contaminants. These solvents are typically present as dense, non-aqueous phase l ...

WHO IS INTERESTED IN THE REDUCTIVE DECHLORINATION OF POLYCHLORINATED BIPHENYLS (PCBs)?

Christof Holliger, Pierre Rossi, Martina Praveckova

PCBs are persistent organic pollutants which have entered the environment through both use and disposal. The environmental dissemination of PCBs is complex and nearly global in scale, although their production was banned in the 80’s. Nowadays, specific bac ...

Influence of pH on dehalorespiring consortia & first steps in the development of a methodology for acid neutralization in enhanced in situ bioremediation

Nicole Munz

Enhanced in situ bioremediation of chlorinated solvents is, especially in source zone remediation, often limited through the accompanied high acidification of groundwater. This acid built-up originating from the dechlorination itself and fermentation produ ...

Influence of Mass-Transfer Limitations on Carbon Isotope Fractionation during Microbial Dechlorination of Trichloroethene

Christof Holliger

Mass transfer of organic contaminants from nonaqueous phase liquids to the aqueous phase can significantly modulate the observable carbon isotope fractionation behavior associated with contaminant transformation. We evaluated the effects of kinetic interph ...

pH control for enhanced reductive bioremediation of chlorinated solvent source zones

David Andrew Barry, Clare Robinson

Enhanced reductive dehalogenation is an attractive treatment technology for in situ remediation of chlorinated solvent DNAPL source areas. Reductive dehalogenation is an acid-forming process with hydrochloric acid and also organic acids from fermentation o ...

Nonthermal plasma Abatement of trichloroethylene Enhanced by Photocatalysis

Albert Renken, Lioubov Kiwi, Danièle Laub

Abatement of trichloroethylene (TCE, 250 ppm in air) was studied in a novel nonthermal plasma (NTP) dielectric barrier discharge reactor with an inner electrode made of sintered metal fibers (SMF). The SMF electrodes modified with TiO2 and MnO2 were observ ...
