Feasibility of Coal Tar Biodegradation by Land Treatment

这是一个奖项，以支持研究的建议， 对污染附近土壤的污染物进行生物降解 煤焦油残留物被掩埋的州。 煤焦油是由- 一种用于生产焦炭和“人造”煤气的过程的产物。 据估计，在美国有超过1500个地点， 这些残留物被生产和掩埋。 这项研究将解决 生物降解化合物的可能性， 埋藏的矿床，并降低其相对于 地下水 导致这一建议的提案是根据雅阁提交的， NSF 86-I9，小企业创新研究。 这项拟议的工作 目标与Propam的环境目标相一致 工程部和调查人员具有以下资格： 要做的工作。 建议赔偿金额为S4 O，OOO，为期六个月， 1987年2月1日 这将用于第一阶段，如NSF 86- 19.

This is a recommendation for an award to support research on biodegradation of pollutants that have contaminated soil in the vicinity of states where coal tar residues have been buried. Coal tar is a by- product of a process used to produce coke and "manufactured" gas. Estimates are that there are over 1500 sites in the United States where these residue were produced and buried. This research will address the possibility of biologically degrading compounds that each from these buried deposits and reduce their polutional potential with respect to groundwater. The proposal leading to this recommendation was submitted in accord with NSF 86-I9, Small Business Innovation Research. This proposed work has objectives consistent with those of the Propam in Environmental Engineering and the investigators have qualifications appropriate for the work to be done. Award is recommended in the amount of S4O,OOO for six months starting on February 1, 1987. This will be for Phase I as described in NSF 86- 19.
