in this study, magnetic nanoparticles (γ-fe2o3) were used for the degradation of 2-chlorophenol (cp) from wastewater. the size of these magnetic nanoparticles was measured using xrd and found to be about

Despite the wide application of nanoscale zero valent iron (nZVI) for the treatment of a plethora of pollutants through reductive reactions, reactivity evaluation of nZVI towards dehalogenation has not been standardized. In this light, it was desired to develop a simple colorimetric assay, for versatile laboratory application, using merely a spectrophotometer for color intensity determination. ...

In order to assess the applicability of using microelectrodes as a tool for inhibition tests, temporal and spatial inhibitory effects of 2-chlorophenol (2-CP) on O(2) respiration and nitrification activities in municipal wastewater biofilms were investigated using microelectrodes for O(2) and NH(4)(+). The time-course microelectrode measurements demonstrated that 2-CP inhibited O(2) respiration...

The antibacterial activity of pentachlorophenol and 35 of its known or possible metabolites against 30 different species of bacteria was tested. In comparison with pentachlorophenol, no increase of inhibitory activity was found for any of the chlorinated anisoles tested (except for pentachloroanisole against Streptomyces spp.), 2-chlorophenol, 2,6-dichlorophenol, 2,3,6- and 2,4,6-trichloropheno...

results the results showed that the pcp degradation increased with an increase in zvi dosage from 0.056 to 1.4 g/l, an increase in persulfate concentration from 2.5 to 15.0 mm/l, and an increase in zvi to ps molar ratio from 0.1 to 2.5. the optimal initial ph for pcp removal was 5.0 and the maximum removal efficiency of 70% was achieved within 120 minutes. moreover, the zvi catalyst was reused ...

Pollution of the aquatic environment by halogen derivatives widely used as antiseptic compounds, well chemicals for various industrial purposes, is significant. Existing systems bioremediation poorly solve problem eliminating pollution. This paper discusses preparation novel macroporous chitosan-based cryogels with in situ-immobilized Pd or Pt nanoparticles a catalyst dichlorination reactions. ...
