Simultaneous bio-reduction of trichloroethene, trichloroethane, and chloroform using a hydrogen-based membrane biofilm reactor

Abstract: The contamination of water by chlorinated solvents is recognized as a serious and widespread problem throughout the industrialized world. Here, we focus on three chlorinated solvents that are among those most commonly detected and that have distinct chemical features: trichloroethene (TCE), trichloroethane (TCA), and chloroform (CF). Because many contaminated waters contain mixtures of the chlorinated solvents, a treatment technology that detoxifies all of them simultaneously is highly desirable. The membrane … Show more

“…For this reason, H 2 is considered as a clean, non-toxic, residual-free, and inexpensive inorganic electron donor to take the place of the extra organic compounds. H 2 was also found to be used for microbial reduction or reductive dechlorination of N-nitrosodimethylamine (NDMA), chlorophenols (CPs), trichloroethane (TCA), chloroform (CF), and trichloroethene (TCE) [20][21][22][23]. Nevertheless, biological reduction of p-CNB with H 2 as an electron donor was rarely discussed in the literature.…”
