Abstract

One cost-effective approach for remediation of contaminated soil and groundwater that is attracting increased attention is the installation of permeable reactive zones or barriers within aquifers. A study was conducted to evaluate the potential for dechlorination of 2,4,6-trichlorophenol (2,4,6-TCP) and biodegradation of phenol using simulated sequential PRB including chemical and biological reactive barrier. Palladium coated iron was used as reactive barrier medium for chemical degradation of 2,4,6-TCP. Phenol was completely degraded within 8 days for 119 and 303 μM of phenol; 16 days for 635 μM of phenol. The anaerobic biodegradation of phenol was fit to a pseudo-first-order model. This is an abstract of a paper presented at the 230th ACS National Meeting (Washington, DC 8/28/2005-9/1/2005).
