Biodegradation via reductive dechlorination processes occurs when microbes directly remove
chlorine atoms from a chemical in order to derive energy from other organic compounds. This
occurs under reducing, anaerobic conditions. A more effective remedial strategy, however,
entails in situ chemical reduction (ISCR) using EHC as the reductant.
This report [PDF] succinctly describes how a combination of controlled-release carbon plus micro-scale zero valent iron (ZVI) particles are used for stimulating ISCR of otherwise persistent organic compounds in groundwater. The technology has worldwide applications.
