Development and testing of a combined remediation method of reductive-oxidative in-situ bioremediation of chlorinated solvents (BIOREDOXX)

The aim of the project is to design and verify feasibility of the in-situ anaerobic-aerobic bioremediation of chlorinated solvents in the aquifer. The technology should further be verified by the EU ETV programme. The technological, ecological and economical assessment of this method will be included. This output will be achieved in 2022. The subject of the research is to optimize materials for enhanced anaerobic reductive dechlorination (utility model),to verify optimal conditions for following aerobic phase, to find appropriate materials for oxygen supply into the aquifer, development of analytical methods based on SPME nanofibres for monitoring contamination and organoleptic characteristics of treated water (prototype). The technology will be validated by field tests at 2 sites.

This project is funded with state support from the Technology Agency of the Czech Republic
