Methods for enhancing bioremediation of ground water contaminated with nonaqueous halogenated solvents are disclosed. An illustrative method includes adding a composition to the ground water wherein the composition is an electron donor for microbe-mediated reductive dehalogenation of the halogenated solvents and enhances mass transfer of the halogenated solvents from residual source areas into the aqueous phase of the ground water. Illustrative compositions effective in these methods include surfactants such as C

carboxylic acids and hydroxy acids, and mixtures thereof. Other illustrative compositions according to the present invention include oleyl lactylic acid and, optionally, oleic acid and lactic acid or salts thereof. Especially illustrative compositions for use in these methods include lactic acid, salts of lactic acid, such as sodium lactate, lactate esters, and mixtures thereof. The microbes are either indigenous to the ground water, or such microbes can be added to the ground water in addition to the composition.
本发明公开了加强被非水卤化溶剂污染的地下水生物修复的方法。一种说明性方法包括向地下水中添加一种组合物,其中的组合物是微生物介导的卤化溶剂还原脱卤的电子供体,并能增强卤化溶剂从残留源区向地下水水相的质量转移。在这些方法中有效的说明性组合物包括表面活性剂,如 C
