Kinetics of Natural Attenuation: Review of the Critical Chemical Conditions and Measurements at Bore Scale

This paper describes the chemical conditions that should favour the biodegradation of organic pollutants. Thermodynamic considerations help to define the reaction that can occur under defined chemical conditions. The BTEX (benzene, toluene, ethylbenzene, and xylene) degradation is focused on benzene...
