Reductive Dechlorination of Hexachlorobutadiene by a Pd/Fe Microparticle Suspension in Dissolved Lactic Acid Polymers: Degradation Mechanism and Kinetics

Kinetics of Reductive Dechlorination of Trichloroethane (TeA) by Anaerobic Biofilms

Kinetics of the microbial reductive dechlorination of pentachloroaniline.

The microbial reductive dechlorination kinetics of pentachloroaniline (PCA) and less chlorinated anilines (CAs) were investigated with a mixed, fermentative/ methanogenic culture. Batch dechlorination assays were performed with all available CAs at an initial concentration of 3 microM, and an incubation temperature of 22 degrees C. Dechlorination of PCA, two tetrachloroanilines (2,3,4,5- and 2,...

Acid Catalysed Condesation of Phloroglucinol and Acetone-Kinetics and Mechanism

The kinetic study of the condensation reaction between phloroglucinol and acetone was investigated at 30, 35, 40 and 45±0.05 °C in 100% methanol. The hydrochloric acid concentrations used were 0.0261, 0.0364, 0.0577 and 0.0728 M. The reaction was investigated with and without a promoter, thioglycollic acid (TGA), and taking into account the functionality (h<e...

Kinetics and inhibition of reductive dechlorination of chlorinated ethylenes by two different mixed cultures.

Kinetic studies with two different anaerobic mixed cultures (the PM and the EV cultures) were conducted to evaluate inhibition between chlorinated ethylenes. The more chlorinated ethylenes inhibited the reductive dechlorination of the less chlorinated ethylenes, while the less chlorinated ethylenes weakly inhibited the dechlorination of the more chlorinated ethylenes. Tetrachloroethylene (PCE) ...

Degradation of 2,4,6-trichlorophenol by Phanerochaete chrysosporium: involvement of reductive dechlorination.

Under secondary metabolic conditions, the lignin-degrading basidiomycete Phanerochaete chrysosporium mineralizes 2,4, 6-trichlorophenol. The pathway for the degradation of 2,4, 6-trichlorophenol has been elucidated by the characterization of fungal metabolites and oxidation products generated by purified lignin peroxidase (LiP) and manganese peroxidase (MnP). The multistep pathway is initiated ...
