“…Bioremediation agents are mainly applied in two ways: permeable reactive barrier (PRB) [12] and in situ reactive zone (IRZ) [97]. PRB, also called Permeable reactive treatment zone, needs to construct a barrier and apply its reactive media, which is a remediation agent.…”

“…Indigenous microorganisms or specific degradation bacteria were used in enhanced in situ bioremediation to modify local biological culture. Adding various types of enhanced bioremediation agents with carbon, electron donor, or acceptor-releasing material can provide a suitable environment and nutrients for microbial degradation, accelerating microbial reproduction rate and improving pollutant removal efficiency [10][11][12][13]. Through the keyword co-occurrence visual analysis of the literature on the global groundwater bioremediation survey and research from 2010 to the present (Figure 1), it is found that the in situ bioremediation of groundwater for organic pollution is mainly composed of halogenated hydrocarbon, petroleum hydrocarbons, and polycyclic aromatic hydrocarbons.…”

Groundwater is an important part of the water resources, crucial for human production and life. With the rapid development of industry and agriculture, organic pollution of groundwater has attracted great attention. Enhanced in-situ bioremediation of groundwater technology has gradually gained attention because of its high efficiency and low environmental impact. Bioremediation agents are crucial for bioremediation technology. In this review, bioremediation agents were classified into three categories: biological nutrition agents, slow-release agents, and microbial agents. Biological nutrition agents are a specific mixture of mineral salt and carbon source; slow-release agents may contain mineral salt, carbon source, pH buffers, and oxygen-releasing material and microbial agents with specific microbial culture. By adding bioremediation agents to the polluted sites, they can improve population density and degradation efficiency for microbial degradation of pollutants. To assist future development and application of bioremediation agents, the development of different agents in laboratory and commercial to date was retrieved online via publisher sites and cooperation case studies. The data collected were analyzed and reviewed, as well as application and remediation effects of enhanced in-situ bioremediation agents were summarized. Current studies mainly focus on laboratory development and experiments, while field tests and remediation effects between different agents are of less concern. Further study may focus on developing new materials, especially coating or loading materials, and systematic evaluation of different agents, considering both laboratory research and on-site experiments, in order to improve the efficiency of in situ organically contaminated groundwater bioremediation.

“…These barriers are designed to activate several mechanisms to decontaminate the groundwater plume, e.g., precipitation, sorption, and degradation [162]. Conventional reactive materials have been investigated and implemented for this purpose including zero-valent iron (ZVI), carbonaceous materials, sulfate-reducing bacteria, metal oxide/sulfides, mineral materials, and industrial wastes [159,161,162,[164][165][166]. Innovative materials include the use of single materials, e.g., meso-zero-valent iron, permeable concrete, basic oxygen furnace slag, or modified/composite materials [164,166].…”

Permeable concrete is a class of materials that has long been tested and implemented to control water pollution. Its application in low-impact development practices has proved its efficiency in mitigating some of the impacts of urbanization on the environment, including urban heat islands, attenuation of flashfloods, and reduction of transportation-related noise. Additionally, several research efforts have been directed at the dissemination of these materials for controlling pollution via their use as permeable reactive barriers, as well as their use in the treatment of waste water and water purification. This work is focused on the potential use of these materials as permeable reactive barriers to remediate ground water and treat acid mine drainage. In this respect, advances in material selection and their proportions in the mix design of conventional and innovative permeable concrete are presented. An overview of the available characterization techniques to evaluate the rheology of the paste, hydraulic, mechanical, durability, and pollutant removal performances of the hardened material are presented and their features are summarized. An overview of permeable reactive barrier technology is provided, recent research on the application of permeable concrete technology is analyzed, and gaps and recommendations for future research directions in this field are identified. The optimization of the mix design of permeable reactive concrete barriers is recommended to be directed in a way that balances the performance measures and the durability of the barrier over its service life. As these materials are proposed to control water pollution, there is a need to ensure that this practice has minimal environmental impacts on the affected environment. This can be achieved by considering the analysis of the alkaline plume attenuation in the downstream environment.

“…Pump and treat approach is the conventional solution commonly applied to contaminated sites with aromatic compounds with NAPL sources, preventing the spreading of contaminant plumes (Sakr et al, 2023). However, such treatment techniques have disadvantages such as transferring contaminants from one medium to another, high cost and maintenance requirements, and long duration of operation (Yerushalmi et al, 1999).…”

iron-reducing aromatic degraders (Chakraborty & Coates, 2004) while many sulphate-reducing BTEX degraders are related to Desulfosarcina, Desulfobacula, Desulfotignum spp. or to other Desulfobacteraceae (Lueders, 2017). In the absence of all other electron acceptors, methanogenic oxidation of BTEX hydrocarbons was reported for members of Peptococcaceae, Deltaproteobacteria General Introduction Investigation of multiple factors affecting biodegradation:In order to select efficient remediation strategies, it is essential to consider site-specific factors such as current redox conditions, pollution history, and the characteristics of the indigenous microbial community including their adaptation and biodegradation capacity. As these factors collectively influence the degradation of pollutants. While studies on anaerobic degradation of BTEX compounds exist, many of them tend to focus on one parameter, often on the use of different electron acceptors. However, it is crucial to conduct experiments that encompass multiple parameters simultaneously, in order to gain deeper insights into the biodegradation capabilities of indigenous microorganisms and their performance under various 2 2. .
