Thermodynamics Study of Polychlorinated Biphenyls (PCBs) Passing through SWNT and Their Removal from Environment

Polychlorinated Biphenyls (PCBs) have been widely used to flame-retard products common in homes and theworkplace, and subsequently. Polychlorinated biphenyls (PCBs) typify a class of highly toxic, stable aromaticpollutants. PCBs are recently being scrutinized for potential environment damage in groundwater and in theatmosphere. The elimination of chemical pollutants from a contaminated environm...

Biodegradation of Polychlorinated Biphenyls by and Isolated from Contaminated Soil

Polychlorinated biphenyls (PCBs) cause many significant ecological problems because of their low degradability, high harmfulness, and solid bioaccumulation.Two bacterial strains were isolated from soil that had been polluted with electrical transformer liquid for more than 40 years. The isolates were distinguished as Lysinibacillus macrolides DSM54Tand Bacillus firmus NBRC1530...

Dechlorination of Polychlorinated Biphenyls in Real Waste Transformer Oil Using a Modified Household Microwave Oven in Presence of Sodium Hydroxide and Polyethylene Glycol

This research was carried out to assess the dechlorination and decomposition of Polychlorinated biphenyls (PCBs) in the real waste transformer oil using polyethylene glycol 1000/NaOH through a modified household microwave oven. To do so, the influence of polyethylene glycol (PEG) (1.5-7.5 g) and NaOH (0.3-1.5 g) under microwave (MW) power of 500 W on the dechlorination efficiency of PCBs, exist...
