Monitoring of Trichloroethene and Tetrachloroethene Content in Soil-Water Environment in Third Phase of Ecological Audit of Land [PDF]
Archives of Environmental Protection, 2014 Trichloroethene (TCE) and tetrachloroethene (PCE) are chemical compounds which pose a serious threat for human health. Their specific properties make it possible that these substances may linger in soil and water for many years. These are the reasons why

Fate and transport of volatile organic compounds in glacial till and groundwater at an industrial site in Northern Ireland [PDF]
, 2007 Volatile organic compound (VOC) contamination of subsurface geological material and groundwater was discovered on the Nortel Monkstown industrial site, Belfast, Northern Ireland. The objectives of this study were to (1) investigate the characteristics of

Integrative Lattice and Surface Engineering of Nanoscale Fe<sup>0</sup> for Superior Dechlorination of Trichloroethene in Groundwater: Coordination in Reactivity, Selectivity, and Stability. [PDF]
Angew Chem Int Ed EnglA lattice and surface engineering strategy was employed to synthesize a novel core‐shell nanomaterial for superior reductive dechlorination of trichloroethene. In this design, FeNi serves as the core and FeS as the shell. Core composition and shell properties interactively determine materials’ performance, and the optimal material exhibited 242.7‐fold ...

Catalytic 1,2-Migratory Insertion in a Bismuth Redox Platform: Reductive Arylation of Aldehydes. [PDF]
Angew Chem Int Ed EnglWe report a multicomponent reaction involving an aryl halide, an aldehyde, and a silane derivative, facilitated by low‐valent bismuth redox catalysis under mild conditions. The protocol represents an unprecedented example of four elementary organometallic steps at a Bi center within the catalytic cycle.

Acetylene-Fueled Trichloroethene Reductive Dechlorination in a Groundwater Enrichment Culture
mBio, 2021 Understanding the complex metabolisms of microbial communities in contaminated groundwaters is a challenge. PCE and TCE are among the most common groundwater contaminants in the United States that, when exposed to certain minerals, exhibit a unique ...

Carbon isotope fractionation during aerobic biodegradation of trichloroethene by Burkholderia cepacia G4: a tool to map degradation mechanisms [PDF]
, 2002 The strain Burkholderia cepacia G4 aerobically mineralized trichloroethene (TCE) to CO2 over a time period of similar to20 h. Three biodegradation experiments were conducted with different bacterial optical densities at 540 nm (OD(540)s) in order to test
