CERCLA Lead Predesign - anaerobic cycle to treat

Solubilized nitrate is circulated throughout
ground water contamination zones to provide electron
acceptors for biological activity and enhance the rate of
degradation of organic contaminants. |
In situ biodegradation. |
A mixed oxygen/nitrate system would prove
advantageous in that the addition of nitrate would
supplement the demand for oxygen rather than replace it,
allowing for benzene to be biodegraded under
microaerophilic conditions. |
