The Evaluation of Empty Bed Contact Time on the Biodegradation of Pentachlorophenol using an Anaerobic GAC Fluidized Bed
The objective of this research is to evaluate the effects of decreasing the empty-bed contact time (EBCT) on pentachlorophenol and its intermediates utilizing an anaerobic granular activated...

The Sensitized Photocatalysis of a Mixed Reactant System of 4-Chlorophenol and 4-Nitrophenol
Sensitized photocatalysis has been demonstrated with colored pollutants such as nitrophenols. With visible light excitation of an adsorbed nitrophenolic compound, charge injection into...

Activated Carbon as a Catalyst for Polymerization of Phenolic Compounds
Previous studies by the principal investigator showed that the increase in the adsorptive capacity of activated carbon for phenolic compounds can be attributed to polymerization (oxidative...

The Effects of Hazardous Organic Pollutants on the Performance of Activated Sludge Systems
The effects of phthalate esters (diethyl phthalate and dimethyl phthalate) and phenols (2,4-dinitrophenol, 2,4-dimethylphenol and 4-nitrophenol) on the performance of a laboratory-scale...

Degradation of Ortochlorophenol in Aerobic and Anoxic-Aerobic Processes
Removal of OCP in sequencing batch reactors was shown to be independent of the presence or lack of co-substrate and independent of SRT for fully aerated reactors. The reactors with an...

Removal of Phenol from a Brine Aquifer: 2 Years of Operation
The article describes a pilot plant project to biologically treat groundwater polluted with phenols. The treatment scheme was based on laboratory tests, technical and economic analysis....

Leaching Characteristics of Metal Finishing Sludges
The purpose of this research was to study the feasibility of biodegrading phenolics to methane by thermophilic anaerobic treatment. The study was a feasibility level assessment which examined...

Anaerobic Treatment of Phenol: Degradability, Toxicity and Kinetics
Anaerobic biodegradation of phenol was demonstrated at up to 1000 mg/L in batch serum bottle studies and 1900 mg/L in anaerobic filters. In batch serum bottle studies, concentrations of...
