Bioremediatie van grondwater verontreinigd met trichlooretheen: Onderzoek naar de biologische en chemische factoren die het biologisch versneld oplossen van een vrije fase bepalen KU Leuven
Trichloroethene (TCE) has extensively been used as a solvent in metal processing and dry cleaning industries. Improper storage, however, has resulted in widespread groundwater contaminations. In the subsoil, its low solubility (8.4 mM) and high density cause the formation of dense non-aqueous phase liquid (DNAPL). Such a DNAPL only dissolves slowly and, therefore, forms a source of long-term groundwater contamination. Remediation of TCE ...
