TL;DR: Soil microcosms used to evaluate the potential benefits of an integrated microbial-Fe0 system to treat groundwater contamination by RDX suggest that permeable reactive Fe0 barriers might be an effective approach to intercept and degrade RDX plumes and that treatment efficiency might be enhanced by biogeochemical interactions through bioaugmentation.

TL;DR: In this article, zero valent iron (Fe0) was used to abiotically dechlorinate carbon tetrachloride (CCl4) to chloroform (CHCl3) and methylene chloride (CH2Cl2).

TL;DR: A vision for enhancing efficiency and resiliency of urban water systems is presented and approaches and research needs for overcoming associated implementation challenges are discussed.

TL;DR: Four novel hexakis C60 derivatives with varying functionalities were synthesized, and their photochemical properties and photodynamic disinfection efficiencies were quantitatively evaluated, showing unique photodynamic, hydrophilic and cationic properties that may be instrumental for the development of next generation photocatalysts for disinfection applications.

TL;DR: Results indicate that biostimulation of HMW PAH degradation by salicylate, a water-soluble, non-toxic substrate, has significant potential for in situ bioremediation.
