Razo-Flores et al. (1999) studied the fate of 2,4-dinitrotoluene (120 mg/L) in an upward-flow anaerobic sludge bed reactor containing a mixture of volatile fatty acids and/or glucose as electron donors. 2,4-Dinitrotoluene was transformed to 2,4-diaminotoluene (52% molar yield) in stoichiometric amounts until day 125. Thereafter, the amine underwent continued degradation. Approximately 98.5% of the volatile fatty acids in the reactor was converted to methane during the 202-d experiment.
