Desulfitobacterium hafniense strain PCP-1 reductively dechlorinates pentachlorophenol (PCP) to 3-chlorophenol and a variety of halogenated aromatic compounds at the ortho, meta, and para positions. Several reductive dehalogenases (RDases) are thought to be involved in this cascade of dehalogenation. We partially purified a novel RDase involved in the dechlorination of highly chlorinated phenols...

background and purpose: the 2-chlorophenol (2-cp) and 4-chlorophenol (4-cp) are phenolic compounds which may have adverse effects on human and environment. therefore, removing these compounds from water and wastewater is necessary. this study aims to analyze 2-cp and 4-cp removal by using azolla filiculoides biomass. materials & methods: azolla biomass was sun dried, crushed and sieved to parti...

Environmental Engineering Science, W. M. Keck Laboratories, California Institute of Technology, Pasadena, CA 91125 The design and testing of a solar-powered fiber-optic cable reactor prototype for the photocatalytic destruction of organic pollutants is presented. A concentrating collector directs sunlight into a fiber-optic cable which transmits light to a Ti02 photocatalyst immobilized on the ...

The dissociation constants of the following substituted phenols in 50 wt percent methanol have been measured at 25 °C: o-nitrophenol, p-nitrophenol, 4-methyl-2-nitrophenol, 2,6-di chlorophenol , pentachlorophenol. The respective values found, expressed as pK values, are 7.91" 7.692 , 8.28" 7.680 , and 5.27.. The dissociation cons tants of 4-methyl-2-nitrophenol and pentachlorophenol, again exp ...

The intermolecular hydrogen bonding interaction between p-chlorophenol and amyl acetate has been investigated by FT-IR spectroscopy. This article mainly reports the results of p-chlorophenol with carbon tetrachloride solution and in the presence of amyl acetate. The spectroscopic characteristics of OH....O complexes are specified. Also, the formation constant for 1:1 and 1:2 complexes at 25 C w...
