Experimental Setup to determine the electrokinetic mobilisation of aerobic chloroethene degraders
Abgeschlossen-2024
Enhanced and innovative in-situ Biotechnologies for Contaminated Land Remediation (EiCLaR)

With EiCLaR, an EU/China consortium, scientific and technical innovations for in-situ bioremediation processes were promoted. As part of the project, combined electro-bioremediation processes for the remediation of chloroethene-contaminated…

Reactive transport modeling for aerobic metabolic trichloroethene degradation

A new biologically productive degradation pathway of trichloroethene is promising for the elimination of pollutants in groundwater. To determine the site-specific degradation potential and to monitor the processes taking place in the underground, a…

Abgeschlossen-2023
Aerobic metabolic degradation of Trichloroethene (TCE) (BioChlor)

In the German-Israeli cooperation project BioChlor, in cooperation with the Ben Gurion University (Israel), the aerobic metabolic chloroethene degradation was investigated. The new process was detected and stimulated in groundwater samples from…

Substance transfer of PFAS and PBDE of polluted soils in crops (FLUORTRANSFER)

The project’s objective was to develop assessment principles for the derivation of test and action values for soil-relevant pollutants and pollutant groups in the soil-plant pathway that are not yet included in the Federal Soil Protection and…

Grundwasserbeprobung zur Untersuchung des mikrobiologischen NSO-HET-Abbaus an einem Teeröl-kontaminierten Standort
Contaminated sites
Quantification of the microbial and chemical-oxidative degradation of NSO-heterocycles

The NSO-HET substance group includes creosote-like pollutants and is classified similarly to PAHs as hazardous to groundwater. The aim of this research project was to develop methods to quantify microbial and chemical oxidative degradation of NSO…

Contaminated sites
Remediation of sites contaminated with BTEX/AHC aromatics

The remediation of BTEX-contaminated groundwater, for example via pump & treat, has often proved to be insufficient and economically unacceptable. The aim of the project was to develop an in-situ remediation process under sulphate-reducing conditions…

Resource protection
Parametrisation and quantification of groundwater (GroundCare)

Groundwater is the most important resource for our drinking water. However, in many locations the good quality of groundwater is at risk or may have already been impacted by increasing contamination, extreme weather, accidents and changes in use.…

Taking contaminated groundwater samples for molecular biological analysis
Contaminated sites
Molecular biological detection of the anaerobic degradation of BTEX

Using molecular biological methods, additional information can be obtained to assess the microbial degradation of benzene, toluene, ethylbenzene and xylene (BTEX) at natural attenuation sites. The main objective of the investigations was to test…

Column experiment with gas collection to investigate the interactions between abiotic and microbiological processes
Technology
Use of nanoparticles for the rehabilitation of groundwater safety incidents (NAPASAN)

Nano-iron(0) technologies are a promising option to rehabilitate contaminated sites. The microbiological degradation of perchloroethene (PCE) was stimulated by using dispersed zerovalent iron (nZVI).
