This is exemplified by the application of an activated sludge treatment system
developed for domestic sewage to handle industrial chlorinated solvents . The
activated sludge system with its intense aeration would surely strip most volatile ...

This simplification may be misleading in the case where highly chlorinated
organohalides tend to sorb stronger but dechlorinate more rapidly than the lesser
chlorinated isomers under active methanogenic conditions . The influence of the
