“…The microbes within the culture alone could not perform direct electron transfer. However, once the mediator methyl viologen, an electron shuttle, was added to the electrode, there was an immediate initiation in the dechlorination of TCE to cis-DCE [164]. A primary concern of this study was the use of methyl viologen, which is highly toxic.…”

“…PCE and TCE are among the most common contaminants found in groundwater as a result of commercial, industrial, and military usage. These pollutants are federally recognized as toxic chemicals that pose significant health risks, including possible links as a carcinogen, Alzheimer's disease and congenital heart defects [164].…”

“…This same process has been shown to be effective in the treatment of PCE. The breakdown of PCE uses an electron donor to break down the compound to TCE, cis-dichloroethylene (cis-DCE), vinyl chloride (VC), and then non-toxic ethene or ethane [164]. During each step, a chlorine atom is replaced with hydrogen.…”

“…During each step, a chlorine atom is replaced with hydrogen. Aulenta et al [164] studied the ability of a mixed culture capable of reductive dechlorination to transfer electrons from an electrode to TCE. The microbes within the culture alone could not perform direct electron transfer.…”

One of the first widely used, synthetically-produced pesticides was the organochloride class agent DDT. From the Second World War until its ban in the early 1970's, DDT was deployed on a vast scale for control of insects and insect-borne diseases and as a highly effective agricultural pesticide [11]. For example, over a half million pounds of DDT was applied to salt marshes in Cape May County, New Jersey

“…In the past decades, scientists were attracted by FO [2] , a novel technology with no massive energy input and high water recovery rates. Moreover, FO has gained vast popularity in the areas, such as desalination of seawater and brackish water [3] , concentration of dilute solutions [4][5],fuel cell [6],power generation [7] , agriculture water [8] .…”

CTA-based membranes for forward osmosis (FO) were prepared by immersion precipitation. Casting composition and coagulation conditions-solvent/acetone ratio, temperature, evaporation time of coagulation bath-were optimized to obtain membranes with best performance. Membranes were characterized by various available methods to testify the performance in forward osmosis system. The CTA membrane showed a water flux higher than 3.8 LMH and a good NaCl rejection of 95% when using 2 M glucose solution as the draw solution and 0.6 M NaCl solution as feed solution. Besides, experiments were attempted to remove microcystin by applying FO technology. More than 80% of the microcystin removal rate was obtained in this experiment.
