The Development of Anaerobic Bioremediation Approaches for Chlorinated Solvent and 1,4-Dioxane Co-Contaminated Sites

Abstract

1,4-dioxane was commonly used as a stabilizer in 1,1,1-trichloroethane formulations and is now frequently detected at sites where the chlorinated solvents are present. A major challenge to 1,4-dioxane remediation concerns chemical characteristics that result in migration and persistence. Given the limitations associated with traditional remediation methods, interest has turned to bioremediation to address 1,4-dioxane contamination. The overall objective here was to determine the susceptibility of 1,4-dioxane to biodegradation over a range of redox conditions.
