2 Important Microorganisms Bacteria are the most important Fungi may play a role in soil but are less important in ground water What do Microbes Need to Grow? Like all living things microorganisms need: Food To supply carbon To supply energy Respiratory substrate Something to breathe Mineral nutrients t Water Usually from the same source Some use oxygen as the electron acceptor, others can use alternatives, including chlorinated solvents 2
3 Terminology and Definitions Electron donor A compound that donates electrons during its oxidation Simple organic compounds such as sugars, alcohols, or methane can be oxidized to carbon dioxide (CO 2 ) 5 Terminology and Definitions Electron acceptor A compound that accepts electrons during its reduction Inorganic compounds like oxygen, nitrate, sulfate, oxidized metals, or CO 2 can be reduced d to water, dinitrogen gas, hydrogen sulfide, dissolved metals, or methane, respectively 6 3
4 Overview of Microbial Metabolism Electron Donor or Substrate (Reduced) Sugars, Proteins, Fats Toluene; H 2 ; Fe(II) Electron Acceptor (Oxidized) Oxygen Nitrate (NO 3 ) Sulfate (SO 4 ) Fe(III), CO 2 Enzymes in a microbe Electron Donor or Substrate (Oxidized) CO 2, H 2 O, Fe(III) Electron Acceptor (Reduced) Water N 2, H 2 S Fe(II), CH 4 Chlorinateds as Electron Acceptors Electron Donor or Substrate (Reduced) H 2 ; Acetate Electron Acceptor (Oxidized) PCE, TCE, cdce, VC Enzymes in a microbe Electron Donor or Substrate (Oxidized) CO 2, H 2 O Electron Acceptor (Reduced) TCE, cdce, VC, ethene 4
5 Key Microbiological Processes Oxidation Bacteria use the contaminant as a food source (electron donor) Need an electron acceptor (e.g., oxygen) Reduction Bacteria use the contaminant as an electron acceptor Need a food source (electron donor) Co-metabolism Bacteria fortuitously break down contaminant (e.g., by enzyme secretion) Slide 9 Example Biodegradation Pathways Direct oxidation: Contaminant as food Aerobic oxidation Anaerobic oxidation Aerobic co-metabolic biodegradation Anaerobic reductive dechlorination 10 5
6 Aerobic Oxidation R-Cl Cl - Bacteria More Bacteria! O 2 e.g., BTEX Compounds, VC SVE/Bioventing Airsparging/Biosparging ORC CO 2 +HO 2 11 Anaerobic Oxidation R-Cl Bacteria O 2 Cl - Mn 4+ Mn 2+ NO - 3 N 2 Fe 3+ Fe 2+ SO 2-4 S 2- CO 2 + H 2 CH

8 Contaminant Types Volatile Organic Compounds (VOCs) Aromatic and aliphatic compounds Chlorinated compounds Semi-volatile Organic Compounds (SVOCs) Polynuclear aromatic hydrocarbons (PAHs) Phthalates Explosives (HMX, RDX, TNT) Polychlorinated biphenyls (PCBs) Pesticides Metals and Other Inorganics (e.g., As, rad, CN, ClO 4 ) 15 Oxidation-Reduction Potential Example Contaminants Petroleum Hydrocarbons, MTBE, Vinyl Chloride Perchlorate Chlorinated Ethenes ORP Probe Slide 16 8
9 Biodegradable Contaminants Volatile Organic Compounds (VOCs) Aromatic and aliphatic compounds Chlorinated compounds Semi-volatile Organic Compounds (SVOCs) Polynuclear aromatic hydrocarbons (PAHs) Phthalates Explosives (HMX, RDX, TNT) Polychlorinated biphenyls (PCBs) Pesticides (in some cases; e.g., dieldrin) Metals and Other Inorganics (e.g., As, rad, CN, ClO 4 ) 17 Chlorinated Solvent Concerns Most common contaminants other than petroleum hydrocarbons Carcinogenic at very low concentrations in drinking water Volatile: can pose significant vapor intrusion risk Persistent: they usually don t biodegrade on their own Slide 18 9
10 Rules of Thumb for Degradation of Chlorinated VOCs Fully-chlorinated VOCs (PCE, CT) cannot be oxidized biotically Highly chlorinated VOCs (PCE, TCE) are more susceptible to reductive dechlorination Less chlorinated VOCs are more susceptible to oxidation (aerobic or anaerobic) Biological Reductive Dechlorination Electron H 2 Donor (food) O 2 Dhc Dhc Dhc Cell Growth Dhc Dhc Dhc Dhc Dhc Dhc R-Cl Electron Acceptor R-H + Cl - Slide 20 10

19 When to Bioaugment? At PCE and TCE sites that stall at cis-dce or VC during biostimulation To assure success and accelerate enhanced in situ bioremediation (EISB) To increase bioactivity and shorten remediation time frames At mixed chlorinated solvent sites At sites with DNAPL concentrations of chlorinated solvents KB-1/VC: Edwards, U of Toronto Slide 37 Important Design Factors Some Factors That Impact Doubling Time of Dhc and Observed Ranges for Successful Bioaugmentation Temperature 8-28ºC (20-30ºC probably bl ideal) Chloroethene concentrations (> 40 µg/l saturation) ph ( ) Co-contaminants (CF <50 µg/l/ 1,1,1-TCA 200 µg/l)* ORP -90 mv and lower Sulfate up to 400 mg/l Chloride up to 5500 mg/l *may be corrected with new cultures 19
