Abstract
A method for in situ anaerobic dehalogenation of a halogenated organic compound in a groundwater plume reduces or prevents indigenous aerobic microorganisms from competing for a supplied electron donor with an anaerobic microorganism that reductively dehalogenates the organic compound when an electron donor is available. The method includes the step of injecting in situ into a groundwater-saturated matrix within or upgradient of a source of the organic compound a deoxygenated aqueous solution that comprises an electron donor to facilitate reductive dehalogenation of the organic compound.
