Abiotic and Biotic Reductive Dehalogenation of Halogenated Metbanes

摘要

Reductive dehalogenation is an important reaction that generally leads to detoxification of many balogenated methanes. Halogenated methanes are widely used in industrial and commercial applications and the inadvertent or deliberate release of these chemicals has caused contamination of the atmosphere, soil and groundwater. The research presented here details the study of several systems for reductive dehalogenataion of chlorinated methanes.
