Chlorophenols are potentially harmful pollutants that are found in numerous natural and agricultural systems. Plants are a sink for xenobiotics, which occur either intentionally or not, as they are unable to eliminate them although they generally metabolize them into less
Intimate coupling of photocatalysis and biodegradation (ICPB) offers potential for degrading biorecalcitrant and toxic organic compounds. This study reports on a novel sponge-type, TiO(2)-coated biofilm carrier that showed significant adherence of TiO(2) and ability to accumulate biomass in its interior.
Density functional theory (DFT) calculations have been carried out to explore the potential energy surface (PES) associated with the gas-phase reaction between 2,4,5-trichlorophenol and CuO. A gas-phase model was constructed to account, from a theoretical perspective, for the most important

Trichlorophenols (TCPs) are organochlorine compounds which are ubiquitous in the environment and well known for their carcinogenic effects. However, little is known about their neurotoxicity in humans. Our goal was to examine the association between body burden of TCPs (ie

Adsorption of 2,4,5-trichlorophenol (TCP) and picric acid (PA) by montmorillonite preloaded with crystal violet (CV) up to 80, 100, and 125% of the cation exchange capacity was studied. The adsorption isotherms indicated a strong interaction of TCP and PA with
