Aerobic Biodegradation Of Vinyl Chloride. Aerobic bioremediation of 1 2 dichloroethane 1 2 dca and vinyl chloride vc was evaluated at field scale in a layered silty and fine sand anaerobic aquifer. A highly enriched aerobic culture that degrades vc as a growth substrate was obtained from a chloroethene contaminated aquifer material. Lower chlorinated compounds such as cis dichloroethene cis dce and vinyl chloride vc often accumulate in chloroethene contaminated aquifers due to incomplete reductive dechlorination of higher chlorinated compounds.
Lower chlorinated compounds such as cis dichloroethene cis dce and vinyl chloride. Microbial oxidation of vinyl chloride under iron reducing conditions.
The investigation provided multiple lines of evidence that demonstrated aerobic biodegradation of vinyl chloride vc was occurring in the vadose zone i above the on site source zone and ii above the downgradient off site groundwater plume location.
More specifically it refers to occurring or. Aerobic biodegradation is the breakdown of organic contaminants by microorganisms when oxygen is present. Orc treatment of vinyl chloride results from controlled laboratory studies and field applications support the ability of orc to effectively enhance the biodegradation of vinyl chloride. Petroleum hydrocarbons less chlorinated solvents like vinyl chloride soil organic matter and reduced inorganic compounds are all compounds that can act as electron donors.
