A Dehalococcoides-dominated culture coupling reductive dechlorination of tetrachloroethene (PCE) to ethene growth was enriched from a European field site for the first time. Microcosms were set up using groundwater chlorinated ethene-contaminated anaerobic aquifer in Bitterfeld (Germany). Active, lactate-amended microcosms capable PCE without accumulation intermediates used further enrichment. After three transfers on lactate as an electron donor and acceptor, enrichment transferred parallel...
Microbial dechlorination of trichloroethene (TCE) is inhibited at elevated TCE concentrations. A batch experiment and modeling analysis were performed to examine whether this self-inhibition related an enhanced cell decay or a reduced activity increasing The combined four different initial concentrations (1.4–3.0 mM) three inoculation densities (4.0 × 105 4.0 107Geobacter cells·mL–1). Chlorinated ethene Geobacter 16S rRNA gene copy numbers measured. time required for complete conversion...
1,2-Dichloroethane (1,2-DCA) is one of the most abundant manmade chlorinated organic contaminants in world. Reductive dechlorination 1,2-DCA by organohalide-respiring bacteria (OHRB) can be impacted other such as chloroethenes and chloropropanes that co-exist with at contaminated sites. The aim this study was to evaluate effect 1,2-dichloropropane (1,2-DCP) on using sediment cultures enriched sole compound (EA culture) or tetrachloroethene (PCE) (EB culture), model kinetics. Both contained...
Abstract Up to 30% of all drinking water is wasted due leaks in distribution networks (WDNs). In times drought and shortage, wasting so much has a considerable environmental financial cost. this paper, we present microservice architecture for leak localization WDNs, where heterogeneous sources data consisting sensor measurements, Geographic Information System (GIS), Customer Relationship Management (CRM) are used feed monitoring solution which combines hybrid data-driven model-based...
The European Union (EU) adopted the Water Framework Directive (WFD) in 2000 aiming to achieve a 'good status' its aquatic ecosystems by 2015.In this respect, numerical spatio-temporal model is developed describe nitrogen dynamics large river basins with Scheldt basin as pilot study area.The uncertainty about input data and groundwater flow at scale, intended application for scenario analyses prompted use of an open structure where developer can test different process descriptions match...
