Inhibition of the methanogens with 2-bromoethanesulphonate (BES) was reported to not affect the "ability to dechlorinate trichloroethene completely"; however, further information was not provided [152].
Available in capacities from 2.33 to 5.20 quarts, select models also feature a dechlorinate mode to reduce chlorine and odors associated with ordinary tap water:
When fed amounts stoichiometrically-sufficient to completely dechlorinate PCE, half the H2 released during EtOH fermentation is used methanogenically, with the remainder channeled to incomplete dechlorination.
Activated carbon has widely been used in industries in order to purify, decolorize, deodorize, dechlorinate, detoxicate, filter, recover salts and used as catalyst and catalyst support.
Available in capacities from 2.33 to 4.23 quarts, select Zojirushi models also incorporate a dechlorinate mode to remove the Vausty odors and improve the taste of ordinary tap water.
