Problem Statement:
ISCO and ISCR are both efficient electron transfer reactions. They can both be used for treating a number of contaminants, especially chlorinated solvents. However, for a given site, they may not be equally effective. How does one determine which technology to apply? Neither technology is universally applicable.

ISCR
Preferred Geological/Geochemical Conditions Available iron mineralogy
ISCO
Low FOC (Permanganate), Low Mn/Fe (Peroxide), Low Mn (Persulfate) Very good for all
BRD
Available natural organics, LowModerate Fe/Mn (competitive metabolism) Good for PCE/TCE, sometimes stalls @ DCE or VC Accumulation possible Generally reactive but accumulates chloroethane Generally reactive but accumulates DCM
Applicability to Chloroethenes PCE, TCE, cis-DCE Vinyl chloride production/reactivity Applicability to Chlorethanes TCA; 1,1-DCA; 1,2-DCA
Very good for PCE/TCE, slow for cis-DCE Little accumulation Treats TCA, 1,1DCA, 1,2-DCA
Slow to moderate
Does not form VC. Reactive to VC Limited applicability, Requires very aggressive systems for Chloroethanes Limited applicability, Requires aggressive systems for Chloromethanes, such as heated persulfate Fast
Slow to moderate
W.O./Init./Date, 54
ISCR
Key factors limiting success Available iron, reduced iron Very good
ISCO
Stability/consumption of oxidant No effect on down gradient MNA. Limits MNA in treatment area
BRD
Requisite bacteria, available carbon source Very good if right bacteria present and properly maintained with multiple additions of agents (substrate) Works best in anoxic to anaerobic conditions. Not compatible with highly aerobic conditions Carbon source, inoculum, nutrients
Agents needed
Works best in anoxic to anaerobic conditions. Not compatible with highly aerobic conditions Reducing agent, available iron
Works best in oxic to aerobic conditions. Not compatible with highly reducing conditions
Oxidant and in some cases a reaction catalyst (persulfate, peroxide) No reaction without oxidant. Reapplication may be required to meet goals
