Microbial responses to combined oxidation and catalysis treatment of 1,4-dioxane and co-contaminants in groundwater and soil
Abstract
Groundwater microbial community was altered after catalysis and chemical oxidation. The coupled treatment train removed 90% 1,4-dioxane regardless of co-contaminants. Dynamics of microbial populations varied along with different treatment stages. Many microbial taxa exhibited resilience against oxidative and catalytic treatments. Metagenomic analysis will be valuable for long-term management of polluted sites.
