Sequential Reductive/oxidative Bioelectrochemical Process for Groundwater Perchloroethylene Removal
Chemical Engineering Transactions, 2021 Chlorinated aliphatic hydrocarbons (CAHs) are common groundwater contaminants, microbial communities naturally present in groundwater can reduce CAHs as perchloroethylene (PCE) and trichloroethylene (TCE) to ethylene through reductive dechlorination (RD)

Reductive Dechlorination of 1,1,2,2-Tetrachloroethane [PDF]
Environmental Science & Technology, 2002 Products of the transformation of organic pollutants in the environment are often predicted based on the structure of the parent compounds. In some cases, however, multiple products may result from the same reaction pathway. In this study, the reduction of 1,1,2,2-tetrachloroethane (1,1,2,2-TeCA) is investigated both experimentally and computationally.

Dechlorination by combined electrochemical reduction and oxidation [PDF]
Journal of Zhejiang University-SCIENCE B, 2005 Chlorophenols are typical priority pollutants listed by USEPA (U.S. Environmental Protection Agency). The removal of chlorophenol could be carried out by a combination of electrochemical reduction and oxidation method. Results showed that it was feasible to degrade contaminants containing chlorine atoms by electrochemical reduction to form phenol ...
