Selecting the best electron donor and operational temperature for the rapid biotransformation of the insensitive munitions compound 2,4-dinitroanisole (DNAN) by anaerobic sludge

Selecting the best electron donor and operational temperature for the rapid biotransformation of the insensitive munitions compound 2,4-dinitroanisole (DNAN) by anaerobic sludge

2,4-Dinitroanisole (DNAN) is a toxic compound increasingly used by the military that can be released into the environment on the soil of training fields and in the wastewater of manufacturing plants. DNAN's nitro groups are anaerobically reduced to amino groups by microorganisms when electron d...
