Integration of photochemical and biological treatment of polychlorinated biphenyls in contaminated sediment.

Photolysis utilises short wavelength ultraviolet radiation to excite and cleave the carbon-chlorine bond of PCBs, yielding less chlorinated PCBs and ultimately biphenyl which can serve as energy and carbon source of various bacteria. Thus integration of photolysis and biodegradation can be a feasibl...
