Current State of Knowledge in Microbial Degradation of Polycyclic Aromatic Hydrocarbons (PAHs): A Review (2016, background): “Several physical and chemical treatment methods including incineration, base-catalyzed dechlorination, UV oxidation, fixation, solvent extraction etc. are already in practice (Norris et al., 1993; Gan et al., 2009), but have several drawbacks including cost, complexity, regulatory burden etc.”
Biological Degradation of Polycyclic Aromatic Compounds (PAHs) in Soil: a Current Perspective (2019, background): “However, anaerobic conditions are often promoted when the degree of contamination is very high, thereby limiting oxygen flow due to soil pore saturation or clogging [20].”
Bioremediation of Heavy Metals from Soil and Aquatic Environment: An Overview of Principles and Criteria of Fundamental Processes (2015, background): “This results in an inability to model and predict the process behavior and develop a natural bioremediation process in the field [29,30,32,59,60].”
Degradation and removal methods of antibiotics from aqueous matrices--a review. (2011, background): “In the 1890s, Henry John Horstman Fenton developed the Fenton’s reagent, a solution of hydrogen peroxide and ferrous ions, which has strong oxidizing properties (Gan et al., 2009).”
