Anaerobic Biodegradation of Gasoline Oxygenates: Extrapolation of Information to Multiple Sites and Redox Conditions

Samples from four chronically contaminated sedimentary environments were used to test the susceptibility to anaerobic decay of a series of alcohol, ketone, ester and ether oxygenates. Results provide a basis for assessing the environmental fate characteristics of the frequently sued gasoline oxygena...

Description
Summary:Samples from four chronically contaminated sedimentary environments were used to test the susceptibility to anaerobic decay of a series of alcohol, ketone, ester and ether oxygenates. Results provide a basis for assessing the environmental fate characteristics of the frequently sued gasoline oxygenates as well as several potential alternate fuel additives.
