1 Microbiological and Geochemical Dynamics of the Subsurface: chemical oxidation and bioremediation of organic contaminants Nora Barbour Sutton

2 Soil Contamination Sources of Contamination Gas Stations Dry Cleaners Industrial Factories Transport Infrastructure Types of Contamination Benzene, diesel, gas Solvents: PCE Heavy Metals Pure Pollutant Pure Pollutant Groundwater Groundwater

3 Soil Remediation Transfer of contaminant to second location Conversion of contaminant into harmless products PHYSICAL Remediation Physically remove contaminant from the subsurface CHEMICAL Remediation (chemical oxidation) Contaminants are chemically degraded BIOLOGICAL Remediation (Bioremediation) Microorganisms degrade contaminants through biological processes

4 Conversion: In situ chemical oxidation (ISCO) In situ bioremediation (ISB) CHEMICAL Remediation Benzene + oxidant CO 2 + H 2 O BIOLOGICAL Remediation (Bioremediation) Benzene + bacteria + O 2 CO 2 + H 2 O + biomass

5 Conversion: In situ chemical oxidation (ISCO) In situ bioremediation (ISB) Groundwater

6 Chemical Conversion: oxidation followed by bioremediation In situ chemical oxidation (ISCO) In situ bioremediation (ISB) Oxidants Fenton s Reagent H 2 O 2 + Fe 2+ Persulfate: S 2 O 8 2- Ozone O 3 Permanganate MnO - 4 Amendments Nutrients Oxygen Carbon Source Bacteria Groundwater

7 Chemical oxidation + bioremediation Technological Motivation Parameter Chemical Oxidation (ISCO) Bioremediation (ISB) Time Rapid Slow Cost High Low Pure Pollutant Yes No Thorough No Yes Sustainable No Yes

8 Chemical oxidation + bioremediation Scientific Reasoning Reduces toxicity Improves biodegradability Improves bioavailability Increases temperature and mixing Scientific Challenge Oxidizing conditions ph change Soil organic matter degradation Oxidants Optimal ph Oxidation Potential (V) Fenton s Reagent H 2 O 2 + Fe (OH - ) Persulfate: S 2 O to > (SO 4- ) Ozone O 3 neutral 2.1 Permanganate MnO - 4 neutral 1.7
