... offers faster reactions times than bioremediation schemes but also tends to be more expensive. One of the major advantages of using palladium catalysts to break down TCE is that palladium converts TCE directly into non-toxic ethane.

Finally, Buck came up with what Axel calls "an extremely clever twist." She made three assumptions that drastically nar...
