Reductive dechlorination of cis-1,2,-dichloroethene and vinyl chloride by "dehalococcoides ethenogenes."(dechlorinating chloroethenes)(Statistical Data Included)
Article Abstract:
This study undertakes the evaluation of major groundwater pollutants tetrachloroethene and trichloroethene and their reductive decholorination to less-chlorinated ethenes. The study was conducted by The Department of Microbiology at Cornell University.

Electroreduction of hexachlorobenzene in micellar aqueous solutions of Triton-SP 175
Article Abstract:
Results revealed that electroreduction of hexachlorobenzene (HCB) can be achieved in micellar aqueous solutions of Triton-SP 175. Triton-SP 175 in 0.1% concentration, which is acid-labile, allowed the removal of HCB in aqueous solutions. Lead proved to be the best cathode available for the electrolytic dehalogenation of HCB.
