Journal ArticleDOI
Nanoscale zero valent iron and bimetallic particles for contaminated site remediation
Denis M. O'Carroll,Denis M. O'Carroll,Brent E. Sleep,Magdalena M. Krol,Hardiljeet K. Boparai,C. M. Kocur +5 more
TL;DR: The use of nano zero valent iron (nZVI) for groundwater remediation has been investigated for its potential to reduce subsurface contaminants such as PCBs, chlorinated solvents, and heavy metals.
Journal ArticleDOI
Modeling the transport of volatile organics in variably saturated media
Brent E. Sleep,J. F. Sykes +1 more
TL;DR: In this paper, a model was developed to characterize the transport of volatile organics such as petroleum products and halogenated hydrocarbon solvents in variably saturated media all assume that mass transfer processes are at equilibrium.
Journal ArticleDOI
Stable carbon isotope evidence for intrinsic bioremediation of tetrachloroethene and trichloroethene at area 6, Dover Air Force Base
TL;DR: This study is the first to provide definitive evidence for reductive dechlorination of chlorinated hydrocarbons at a field site based on the delta13C values of the primary contaminants spilled at the site, PCE and TCE.
Journal ArticleDOI
Variability in carbon isotopic fractionation during biodegradation of chlorinated ethenes: implications for field applications.
TL;DR: This study characterized carbon isotopic fractionation during reductive dechlorination of the chlorinated ethenes, PCE in particular, for microbial consortia from two different sources growing under different environmental conditions in order to assess the extent to which different microbial Consortia result in different fractionation factors.
Journal ArticleDOI
Contrasting carbon isotope fractionation during biodegradation of trichloroethylene and toluene: Implications for intrinsic bioremediation
B. Sherwood Lollar,Greg F. Slater,Jason M. E. Ahad,Brent E. Sleep,J. Spivack,M. Brennan,P. MacKenzie +6 more
TL;DR: Stable carbon isotopes have the potential to be a useful indicator for identification and monitoring of intrinsic bioremediation of chlorinated hydrocarbons such as TCE and more conservative isotopic values may instead be more applicable as a means of source differentiation at sites with a history of multiple spills.
