Popis:	A bench-scale study was conducted to assess the feasibility of bioremediating phthalate contaminated soil from a polyvinyl chloride manufacturing operation in New Jersey. A bench-scale slurry reactor study which utilized 14 C-labeled bis-(2-ethylhexyl) phthalate (BEHP) demonstrated that approximately 50 to 60% of the carbon in BEHP was mineralized directly to CO 2 by indigenous microbial flora, while the remaining 40 to 50% was converted into cell mass. Additional bench-scale studies were conducted in Soil Slurry-Sequencing Batch Reactors (SS-SBR) to evaluate the impact of basic biotreatability parameters (e.g., nutrient requirements and seed acclimation) on the bioremediation of soil contaminated with high levels of BEHP and total petroleum hydrocarbons (TPH)
