Anaerobic Oxidation of [1,2-C]Dichloroethene under Mn(IV)-Reducing Conditions.
Anaerobic oxidation of [1,2-C]dichloroethene to CO(2) under Mn(IV)-reducing conditions was demonstrated. The results indicate that oxidative degradation of partially chlorinated solvents like dichloroethene can be significant even under anoxic conditions and demonstrate the potential importance of Mn(IV) reduction for remediation of chlorinated groundwater contaminants.
