PROCESS FOR THE BIOLOGICAL DEGRADATION OF CHLORO-ORGANIC COMPOUNDS IN GROUNDWATER

摘要

A process is described for the decontamination in situ of groundwater polluted by chloro-organic compounds, using whey as electron donor and a source of carbon, nitrogen, phosphorous and other substances useful for the growth of autochthon and/or allochthon micro-organisms capable of using chloro-organic compounds as final electron acceptors. Whey is also used for ensuring that the negative redox potential necessary for the development of dehalo-reducing micro-organisms, is reached in the groundwater.
