چکیده
G. Adiwidjaja Mineralogisch-Petrographisches Institut der Universität Hamburg, Grindelallee 48, D-20146 Hamburg Z. Naturforsch. 50b, 953-958 (1995); received November 21, 1994 Chlorinated Insecticides, Electrochemical Reduction, Aldrin, Mirex, Dechlorination Partial but regioand stereoselective dechlorination takes place if polychlorinated oligocyclic insecticides (Diels-Alder adducts and dimers of hexachlorocyclopentadiene) are electrolysed in methanol solution at lead cathodes. The products are detected and identified by GC/MS, IR and NMR spectroscopy. The structure of the product 2 formed from Mirex® is confirmed by an X-ray structural analysis.

Complete reductive dehalogenation of brominated biphenyls by anaerobic microorganisms in sediment.
We sought to determine whether microorganisms from the polychlorinated biphenyl (PCB)-contaminated sediment in Woods Pond (Lenox, Mass.) could dehalogenate brominated biphenyls. The PCB dechlorination specificities for the microorganisms in this sediment have been well characterized. This allowed us to compare the dehalogenation specificities for brominated biphenyls and chlorinated biphenyls w...
متن کاملOn the role of alkylcobalamins in the vitamin B12-catalyzed reductive dehalogenation of perchloroethylene and trichloroethylene.
Theoretical studies are presented on the structures and reactivity of chlorinated ethylcobalamins, potential intermediates in the vitamin B12-catalyzed reductive dehalogenation of the environmental pollutants perchloroethylene and trichloroethylene; the results suggest an alternative mechanism of catalysis.
متن کاملUltrafine Zinc and Nickel, Palladium, Silver Coated Zinc Particles Used for Reductive Dehalogenation of Chlorinated Ethylenes in Aqueous Solution
Zero-valent zinc metal has been employed for the reductive dehalogenation of chlorinated ethylenes. In order to enhance this environmental remediation chemistry, ultrafine zinc particles and transition metal additives (coatings) have been employed. Indeed, activated zinc (cryozinc) significantly enhanced the reduction/dehalogenation process, especially in the presence of nickel and palladium co...
متن کاملpH control for enhanced reductive bioremediation of chlorinated solvent source zones.
Enhanced reductive dehalogenation is an attractive treatment technology for in situ remediation of chlorinated solvent DNAPL source areas. Reductive dehalogenation is an acid-forming process with hydrochloric acid and also organic acids from fermentation of the electron donors typically building up in the source zone during remediation. This can lead to groundwater acidification thereby inhibit...
متن کاملGenomic and Transcriptomic Analysis of Growth-Supporting Dehalogenation of Chlorinated Methanes in Methylobacterium
Bacterial adaptation to growth with toxic halogenated chemicals was explored in the context of methylotrophic metabolism of Methylobacterium extorquens, by comparing strains CM4 and DM4, which show robust growth with chloromethane and dichloromethane, respectively. Dehalogenation of chlorinated methanes initiates growth-supporting degradation, with intracellular release of protons and chloride ...
