|
||
challenges for cleanup because of its water solubility, density, and volatility.
|
||
Bioremediation of TCE is a promising cleanup method; however, metabolism of TCE
|
||
results in acid generation that inhibits remediating microorganisms. Calcium
|
||
alginate(CA)-polyvinylalcohol (PVA) hydrogels show promise for protecting
|
||
remediating microbes, however diffusion of TCE or its byproducts through these
|
||
polymers is unknown. To measure the effective diffusion coefficient of TCE and
|
||
byproducts through hydrogel membranes, we used a modified diaphragm cell.
|
||
Measured effective diffusion coefficient of each species was (cm <sup>2</sup>
|
||
/s
|
||
× 10<sup>6</sup>
|
||
): 14.0 ± 1.91 for H<sup>+</sup>
|
||
ions, 12.4 ± 1.64 for TCE,
|
||
7.83 ± 0.54 for cis-1,2-dichloroethylene (DCE), and 4.68 ± 4.14 for vinyl
|
||
chloride. These results aid in engineering biobeads and suggest that CA-PVA
|
||
hydrogel blends are effective in slowing diffusion of protons, buffering acids
|
||
produced by trichloroethylene metabolism, and remains suitable for encapsulation
|
||
of microorganisms involved in bioremediation.</p><div class="card border-dark m-3 p-3"><a href=/academia/pva-aiche/measuring_diffusion_of_trichloroethylene.pdf>/academia/pva-aiche/measuring_diffusion_of_trichloroethylene.pdf</a>
