Abstract:The reductive-dechlorinating microorganism of chlorinated aromatic compounds and the biodegradation mechanisms of some chlorinated aromatics, such as chlorobenzenes, chlorophenols and chloronitrobenzenes naerobic, by anaerobic microorganisms were introduced. Besides, the developments of anaerobic biotreatment, aerobic-anaerobic biotreatment and anaerobic bioremediation were reviewed.
