Synergistic Treatment of Mixed 1,4-Dioxane and Polyfluorinated Chemical Contaminations by Combining Electrolytic Degradation with Electrobiostimulation
Abstract
1,4-Dioxane and per- and polyfluoroalkyl substances (PFASs) co-occur in mixed plumes at several Department of Defense (DoD) sites and are resistant to many natural and engineered degradation processes. Costly ex situ treatment technologies are often required to break them down. More costefficient destructive treatment approaches are urgently needed that can (1) generate synergistic effects and (2) optionally be applied insitu. Our previous work has shown that electrochemical water treatment, one of the few processes that can break the C-F bond in PFASs, can be installed in situ. Building on this work, the objective of this project was to advance the efficacy of combining electrochemical with biological oxidation for the in situ remediation of groundwater contaminated by mixed COCs.
