Treatment of pentachlorophenol-contaminated soil using nano-scale zero-valent iron with hydrogen peroxide

Photocatalytic degradation of p-chlorophenol by hybrid H2O2 and TiO2 in aqueous suspensions under UV irradiation

“…Among the different chlorophenols, p-chlorophenol (p-CP) is commonly found in wastewater from the paper, pharmaceutical, and dyestuff industries. p-CP is toxic, posing a serious risk to the environment (Ai et al, 2005;Hugul et al, 1999); in particular, this compound is directly relevant for water remediation due to its solubility and the severity of its threat to terrestrial and aquatic life (Benitez et al, 2000;Gaya et al, 2009;Liao et al, 2007).…”

Photocatalytic treatment of 4-chlorophenol in aqueous ZnO suspensions: Intermediates, influence of dosage and inorganic anions

“…The US EPA consolidated list of chemicals contains inter alia several chlorophenols under the Emergency Planning and Community Right-To-Know (EPRC) section. 4-Chlorophenol has direct relevance to water remediation due to its solubility and the severity of hazard to both terrestrial and aquatic life [14][15][16][17]. 4-Chlorophenol has attracted wealth of publications due to its direct relevance to environment and informative photochemical behaviours [18][19][20].…”

Removing pentachlorophenol from water using a nanoscale zero-valent iron/H2O2 system

“…However, the catalytic efficiency tends to be lower for heterogeneous Fenton reagents than for homogeneous Fenton reagents. Nanosized iron-based reagents have been developed for use as heterogeneous Fenton catalysts because of the advantages offered by the large surface areas and high reactivities of nanosized particles (Liao et al, 2007;Samadi et al, 2013).…”
