In the current study, we determined in vitro accumulation of hexachlorobenzene (HCBz) and pentachlorobenzene (PeCBz) in porcine ovarian follicles, the effect on steroidogenesis and the expression of enzymes responsible for steroid synthesis. Sixty percent of the HCBz and almost 100%
Pentachlorobenzene (PeCB) in simulated flue gas was destructed by a commercial V(2)O(5)-WO(3)/TiO(2) catalyst in this study. The effects of reaction temperature, oxygen concentration, space velocity and some co-existing pollutants on PeCB conversion were investigated. Furthermore, a possible mechanism for the
Waste management (New York, N.Y.), 30(7), 1318-1324 (2010-03-17)
Waste thermal treatment in Europe is moving towards the utilisation of the combustible output of mechanical, biological treatment (MBT) plants. The standardisation of solid recovered fuels (SRF) is expected to support this trend and increase the amount of the generated
There are no longer any large scale uses of pentachlorobenzene (PeCB). Current emissions of PeCB to the environment are estimated to be about 121000kgy(-1), based on published information. The largest sources appear to be combustion of solid wastes, 32000kgy(-1), biomass
Protein engineering, design & selection : PEDS, 20(10), 473-480 (2007-10-27)
We had reported engineering of the heme monooxygenase cytochrome P450cam from Pseudomonas putida with the F87W/Y96F/L244A/V247L mutations for the oxidation of pentachlorobenzene (PeCB), a recalcitrant environmental contaminant, to pentachlorophenol. In order to provide further insights into P450 structure, function and
