Biologically enhanced removal of PCE from NAPL source zones

Article Abstract:

Tetrachloroethene and trichloroethene removal from groundwater through dechlorinating microorganisms is researched at Rice University, finding that chlorine removal was 5 to 6.5 greater than a system relying on dissolution alone. The article supplies charts and graphs to support the researchers' conclusions.

Spectrophotometric assay of POE nonionic surfactants and its application to surfactant sorption isotherms

Article Abstract:

Experiments performed at Princeton University determine the suitability and operational range of environmental iodine-iodide for nonionic surfactants, using spectrophotometry. Analysis and discussion of the assay results follows, with support from multiple charts and graphs.
