The phenolic compounds are known by their carcinogenicity and high toxicity as well as creating unpleasant taste and odor in water resources. The present study develops a cost-effective technology for the treatment of water contaminated with phenolic compounds, including Phenol (Ph), 2-chlorophenol (2-CP), and 4-chlorophenol (4-CP). So, two sorbents, rice bran ash (RBA) and biomass of brown alg...

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

The electrochemical behaviors of different chlorophenols at boron-doped diamond thin film electrode were investigated. Four chlorophenols, the 2-chlorophenol (2-CP), 2,4-dichlorophenol (2,4-DCP), 2,4,6-trichlorophenol (2,4,6TCP) and pentachlorophenol (PCP), with various number of chlorine atoms in the benzene rings, were studied by using cyclic voltammetry at different scan rates over the poten...

Molecularly imprinted polymer (MIP) may not selectively recognize small template of limited number of functional groups, such as 2-chlorophenol (2-CP). In this work, a novel method was proposed to improve the recognition ability of the molecularly imprinted solid phase extraction (MISPE) of 2-CP from environmental waters. This was achieved by derivatization of 2-CP with 4-amino-anti-pyrine (4-A...

Background and purpose: The 2-chlorophenol (2-CP) and 4-chlorophenol (4-CP) are phenolic compounds which may have adverse effects on human and environment. Therefore, removing these compounds from water and wastewater is necessary. This study aims to analyze 2-CP and 4-CP removal by using Azolla filiculoides biomass. Materials & Methods: Azolla biomass was sun dried, crushed and sieved to parti...

Previous studies demonstrated growth of Anaeromyxobacter dehalogenans strain 2CP-C with acetate or hydrogen as the electron donor and Fe(III), nitrate, nitrite, fumarate, oxygen, or ortho-substituted halophenols as electron acceptors. In this study, we explored and characterized U(VI) reduction by strain 2CP-C. Cell suspensions of fumarate-grown 2CP-C cells reduced U(VI) to U(IV). More-detailed...

The bimolecular quenching of the metal-to-ligand charge transfer (MLCT) excited state of Ru(phen)z(dppz)2+ (phen = 1,lO-phenanthroline, dppz = dipyrido[3,2-a:2’,3’-clphenazine) by proton transfer has been investigated in homogeneous acetonitrile solutions and in the presence of calf thymus DNA. In acetonitrile the monoexponential decay of the MLCT excited state emission of R~(phen)2(dppz)~+ is ...
