Role of bicarbonate as a pH buffer and electron sink in microbial dechlorination of chloroethenes

Role of bicarbonate as a pH buffer and electron sink in microbial dechlorination of chloroethenes

<p>Abstract</p> <p>Background</p> <p>Buffering to achieve pH control is crucial for successful trichloroethene (TCE) anaerobic bioremediation. Bicarbonate (HCO<sub>3</sub><sup>−</sup>) is the natural buffer in groundwater and the buffer of choice...
