Synergistic Reductive Dechlorination of 1,1,1-Trichloroethane and Trichloroethene and Aerobic Biodegradation of 1,4-Dioxane - Phase 2

Abstract

1,4-dioxane (1,4-D) is frequently detected as a co-contaminant with chlorinated solvents because of its widespread use as a stabilizer intrichloroethane (TCA) formulations. Phase I of this limited-scope project showed that a H2-based membrane palladium-film reactor (H2-MPfR) converted 1,1,1-trichloroethane (TCA) and trichloroethene (TCE) to ethane by reductive dechlorination. The ethane was then used as a primary substrate to drive biodegradation of 1,4-D in an a O2-based membrane biofilm reactor (O2-MBfR). This report addresses Phase II, which focused on the O2-MBfR.
