Effect of Moderate Heat on TCE Reductive Dechlorination Rates in Groundwater
Groundwater Monitoring &Remediation, EarlyView.Abstract Low‐temperature heating (in the mesophilic range of ~15 to 40 °C) of contaminated aquifers offers the prospect of increasing the rates for biotic and abiotic treatment of volatile organic compounds. Thermal In Situ Sustainable Remediation (TISR®) is one of the approaches available to implement low temperature heating.
