Enzymatic degradation of anthracene, dibenzothiophene and pyrene by manganese peroxidase in media containing acetone

Mechanical and Leaching Behavior of a Stabilized and Solidified Anthracene-Contaminated Soil

“…In this work it was decided to use 1200 mg/kg anthracene in order to better highlight its effects on the behavior of soil and soil-cement. Since its solubility in water is very low and it is completely dissolved in acetone (Eibes et al, 2005) therefore the mixture of acetone anthracene (10 g anthracene per one liter acetone) was subsequently mixed with the measured amount of soil. The soil-acetone-anthracene mixture was placed in a tray for nearly one week until the acetone completely evaporated and contaminated soil was dry.…”

Enzyme Initiated Radical Polymerizations

“…Likewise halophenols [178][179][180][181][182] bisphenol A, [183][184][185] various hormones and so-called endocrine disrupting compounds [186][187][188] or even TNT [189,190] have been reported. Non-phenolic compounds may be ‗inactivated' using the LMS or PMS strategy [36,[191][192][193][194][195][196][197][198].…”

Effect of Aloe Vera wastes on physico-chemical properties and microbiological activity in soils

“…Thus, this decrease must be a result of the higher metabolization of those organic wastes which can be absorbed by organic matter along experimentation as proved by [53]. On the other hand, the CEC values increased with exposure period in all the experiments, and this could be related to the adsorption of the organic molecules to the clay particles of experimented soils which can increase the exchange capacity of soils and this was proved by [54,55]. Moreover, a slight decrease was also observed for nitrogen and phosphorus mineralization.…”
