Rhamnolipid-augmented medium enhances growth of Dehalobium chlorocoercia on chloroethenes and polychlorinated biphenyls

Applied and Environmental Microbiology
Polychlorinated biphenyls (PCBs) and chlorinated ethenes, such as perchloroethene (PCE), are persistent environmental contaminants that pose significant ecological and health risks.

Ether‐Based Electrolytes and the Solvation Structure in Sodium Ion Batteries

Advanced Energy Materials, EarlyView.
Ether electrolytes enable high‐performance sodium‐ion batteries through their unique physicochemical properties, particularly distinctive solvation structures and co‐intercalation behavior. However, the localized solvation structure and its dynamic evolution during electrochemical processes remain a “black box”.

Effect of Chlorinated Ethene Conversion on Viability and Activity of Methylosinus trichosporium OB3b [PDF]

Applied and Environmental Microbiology, 1997
The effect of transformation of chlorinated ethenes on the cell viability of Methylosinus trichosporium OB3b was investigated. A comparison of the loss of viability with the decrease in transformation rates showed that for the monooxygenase-mediated transformation of all chlorinated ethenes except vinyl chloride the decrease in cell viability was the ...

Challenges and enablers in fluidization technology

AIChE Journal, EarlyView.
Abstract Gas–solid fluidized beds provide excellent heat and mass transfer for high‐throughput operations from coating to catalytic conversion and underpin emerging low‐carbon technologies. Yet industrial reliability, scale‐up, and control lag scientific understanding, particularly as finer, stickier, and more variable feedstocks increasingly challenge

Geophysics‐Based Contaminant Mass Discharge Quantification Downgradient of a Landfill and a Former Pharmaceutical Factory

Water Resources Research, 2018
Contaminant mass discharge is a commonly applied tool to evaluate the environmental impact of contaminated sites on water resources. At large contaminated sites with heterogeneous sources, such as landfills, the number of wells available is often not ...

Robot‐Assisted Measurement of the Critical Micelle Concentration

Advanced Intelligent Systems, Volume 7, Issue 3, March 2025.
The study introduces (SIMO) smart integrator for manual operations, a robotic platform for precise, repeatable determination of (CMC) critical micelle concentration in surfactants. SIMO reduces standard deviation by 80% compared to manual methods. Surfactant, dye, and diluent selection, robotic protocols, and data handling are detailed.

Genomic determinants of organohalide-respiration in Geobacter lovleyi, an unusual member of the Geobacteraceae

BMC Genomics, 2012
Background Geobacter lovleyi is a unique member of the Geobacteraceae because strains of this species share the ability to couple tetrachloroethene (PCE) reductive dechlorination to cis-1,2-dichloroethene (cis-DCE) with energy conservation and growth (i ...

Organohalide Respiration with Chlorinated Ethenes under Low pH Conditions

Environmental Science & Technology, 2017
Bioremediation at chlorinated solvent sites often leads to groundwater acidification due to electron donor fermentation and enhanced dechlorination activity. The microbial reductive dechlorination process is robust at circumneutral pH, but activity declines at groundwater pH values below 6.0.
