This paper reviews ten years of research on on-site and in situ bioremediation of chlorophenol contaminated groundwater. Laboratory experiments on the development of a high-rate, fluidized-bed process resulted in a full-scale, pump-and-treat application which has operated for several years. The system operates at ambient groundwater temperature of 7 to 9°C at 2.7 d hydraulic retention time and chlorophenol removal efficiencies of 98.5 to 99.9%. The microbial ecology studies of the contaminated aquifer revealed a diverse chlorophenol-degrading community. In situ biodegradation of chlorophenols is controlled by oxygen availability, only. Laboratory and pilot-scale experiments showed the potential for in situ aquifer bioremediation with iron oxidation and precipitation as a potential problem.

Many nitrate pollution cases exceed the threshold as recommended by the World Health Organization (50 mg NO3/L) and by the USA (10 mg N/L) for drinking water. In-situ denitrification was regarded as a good method to decrease nitrate contamination but is restricted by carbon absent in groundwater. Considering the disadvantages of known carbon sources, this paper provided slow-release organic carbon-source (SOC) technique to solve the problem and the results showed that SOC materials showed good performance during simulated groundwater denitrification. Structure analysis suggested that hydroxy chemical bond existed between PVA and starch in SOC and surface configuration changed with materials dissolving into water. After seven days of domestication, with 40–50 mg/L initial NO3-N, denitrification efficiency increased from 80.6% to 90.7% and the real COD consumption per N-NO3 reduction was 1.82–3.73 with 2.79 as average. Denitrification process followed the law of zero order kinetics and the parameter of denitrification dynamics, K, was from 0.1366 to 0.1873. It was suggested that SOC was a potential carbon source material (electron donor) suitable for in-situ groundwater denitrification.
