Abstract: | Hydrochemical investigations were performed at a contaminated site in the area of a former gasplant at Düsseldorf, Germany, between October, 1995 and November, 1996. The changes of the biodegradation processes in the aquifer during the remediation of groundwater and soil were monitored. The organic contaminants present in the groundwater were mainly BTEX (benzene, toluene, ethylbenzene, xylenes) and low moleuclar weight PAH (plycyclic aromatic hydrocarbons). At the beginning of the remediation activities, natural degradation of the contaminants occurred with sulfate reduction as the prevailing terminal electron accepting process. Due to oxygen input into the aquifer during soil removal the biodegradation process was disturbed and the concentrations of aromatic hydroarbons and sulfate rose significantly. The aromatic acids occuring as metabolites of the aromatic hydrocarbons reacted specifically to the changes in the degradation processes. |
