General description

2,4,6-Tribromophenol undergoes oxidative degradation catalyzed by SiO2-supported iron(III)-5,10,15,20-tetrakis(4-carboxyphenyl) porphyrin. It is degraded by Bacillus sp.GZT strain via reductive bromination as major degradation pathway. It is a widely used brominated flame retardant.

Application

2,4,6-Tribromophenol was used in analysis of nonylphenol, nonylphenol monoethoxylate and octylphenol in sediment, water and fish tissue.

Iron(III)-porphyrin complexes are generally regarded as green catalysts, since they mimic the catalytic center of cytochrome-P450 and widely used as green catalysts for degrading halogenated phenols in wastewater, such as landfill leachates. However, iron(III)-porphyrins are deactivated by self-oxidation in the

Polybrominated dibenzo-p-dioxins (PBDD) are emerging environmental pollutants with structural similarities to the highly characterized toxicants polychlorinated dibenzo-p-dioxins. The geographical and temporal variations of PBDD in biota samples from the Baltic Sea do not display features that are normally related to
