Sonochemical Treatment of Water Polluted by Chlorinated Organocompounds. A Review
نویسندگان
چکیده
As one of several types of pollutants in water, chlorinated compounds have been routinely subjected to sonochemical analysis to check the environmental applications of this technology. In this review, an extensive study of the influence of the initial concentration, ultrasonic intensity and frequency on the kinetics, degradation efficiency and mechanism has been analyzed. The sonochemical degradation follows a radical mechanism which yields a very wide range of chlorinated compounds in very low concentrations. Special attention has been paid to the mass balance comparing the results from several analytical techniques. As a conclusion, sonochemical degradation alone is not an efficient treatment to reduce the organic pollutant level in waste water.

Phytoremediation and Plant-Assisted Bioremediation in Soil and Treatment Wetlands: A Review
Phytoremediation is a technology that is based on the combined action of plants and their associated microbial communities to degrade, remove, transform, or immobilize toxic compounds located in soils, sediments, and more recently in polluted ground water and wastewater in treatment wetlands. Phytoremediation could be used to treat different types of contaminants including petroleum hydrocarbon...

Plants and algae were found useful in the decontamination of water polluted with chlorinated phenolic compounds. An artificial wastewater contaminated with up to 350 ppm herbicide 2,4-dichlorophenol (2,4-DCP), was successfully treated using horseradish, potato and Ulva sp. (sea lettuce), amended with H2O2. Horseradish -mediated provided up to 99% removal of 2,4-DCP from model solution, while, p...
