Abstract Background: Photocatalytic process is used as a suitable method for o-chlorophenol removal. In this study, the efficiency of a mixture of modified fly ash and TiO2 nanoparticles in photocatalytic removal of o-chlorophenol was evaluated. Methods: After acid washing of fly ash, the absorbent was oxidized with potassium permanganate. ...

ONE of the major problems associated with the disinfection of water supplies by chlorination is that the organoleptic properties of the chlorinated water may be increased. This malodorous water is often produced by a reaction between the added chlorine and trace concentrations of organic compounds present in the water. By far the most notorious of the organic compounds found in water which incr...

This paper, the second in a series concerning the use of indicator dyes to study the reactions of organic acids and bases in organic solvents, deals with halogen derivatives of phenolsulfonephthalein. Spectrophotometric data are given for mixtures of bromocresol green, bromophenol blue, iodophenol blue, and tetrabromophenol blue with primary, secondary, and tertiary aliphatic amines in benzene;...

Fluted pumpkin stem waste, which is both a waste and pollutant, was chemically modified with ortho-phosphoric acid and used to adsorb phenol and chlorophenol in fixed bed micro column It was found that the carbon bed sorption capacity for phenol and chlorophenol (77.20 and 80.0 mg/g) were higher than the equilibrium sorption studies. The critical bed depth increased with increasing phenol and c...

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...

Reduced graphene oxide/metal organic framework based electrochemical sensor coupled with machine learning for sensitive detection of penta-chlorophenol.

background: chlorophenols are classified as priority toxic pollutants. these acidic organic compounds present a serious potential hazard for human health and aquatic life. chlorophenols accumulate in water, soil and air due to high stability, and impart an unpleasant taste and odor to drinking water and can exert negative effects on different biological processes. among the different methods of...

Concentrations of 3-chlorophenol and 4-chlorophenol below their minimal inhibitory concentrations were found to increase the permeability of Pseudomonas aeruginosa cells to protons. Levels of such activity were assessed in suspensions of cells prepared from chemostat-grown cultures, limited by either magnesium (Mg-lim) or glucose (G-lim), with the use of five growth rates. Drug concentrations r...

Complexes of tailor-made ligands with life essential metal ions may be an emerging area to answer the problem of multi-drug resistance (MDR). The coordination complexes of VO(II), Co(II), Ni(II) and Cu(II) with the Schiff bases derived from 2-hydroxyacetophenone/2-chlorobenzaldehyde with 2-amino-4-chlorophenol were synthesized and characterized by elemental analysis, molar conductance, electron...
