Biological Factors Influencing Sorption and Biodegradation of Chemicals of Concern on Particulate/Colloidal Activated Carbon

Abstract

The objective of this limited scope project was to gain an understanding of processes influencing the effectiveness of particulate amendments for in situ treatment of contaminants in groundwater. Specifically, the project assessed whether (i) contaminants sorbed to commercially available particulate activated carbon (PAC) were bioavailable for biodegradation and (ii) whether bacteria sorbed to PAC influenced sorptive capacity.
