“…[2,6 −14 C]TCP was decomposed rapidly upon UV irradiation with a half‐life of approximately 25 min, and 25.1% of the initial radioactivity was recovered as 14 CO 2 . This result was in agreement with the finding of Smith [1], who reported that 25% of 14 C‐TCP was decomposed to 14 CO 2 . The production of 14 CO 2 remained steady after 100 h, whereas 70% of the initial radioactivity still remained in the medium (Fig.…”

The photolytic and microbial degradation of 3,5,6‐trichloro‐2‐pyridinol (TCP), a metabolite of the insecticide chlorpyrifos and the herbicide triclopyr, has been investigated. TCP (80 mg/L) was decomposed to nondetectable levels within 2 h of ultraviolet irradiation. Release of 14CO2 and chloride ion was observed; however, approximately 60% of the initial radioactivity remained in the solution. Dichlorodihydroxypyridine isomers and reductive dechlorination products were found as intermediate products of TCP photolysis. It was proposed that both hydrolytic and reductive dechlorination occurred during photodegradation of TCP. Although TCP can be degraded via photolysis, many degradation products remained in the aqueous medium and only some of them, the reductive dechlorination products, can be mineralized by Pseudomonas sp. ATCC 700113. The degradation of the parent compound, TCP, by Pseudomonas sp. ATCC 700113 also appears to involve a reductive dechlorination mechanism. A consortium of microorganisms may be needed if a treatment process combining microbial and photolytic activity is to be used to remove TCP in industrial wastewater.

Abstract-The photolytic and microbial degradation of 3,5,6-trichloro-2-pyridinol (TCP), a metabolite of the insecticide chlorpyrifos and the herbicide triclopyr, has been investigated. TCP (80 mg/L) was decomposed to nondetectable levels within 2 h of ultraviolet irradiation. Release of 14 CO 2 and chloride ion was observed; however, approximately 60% of the initial radioactivity remained in the solution. Dichlorodihydroxypyridine isomers and reductive dechlorination products were found as intermediate products of TCP photolysis. It was proposed that both hydrolytic and reductive dechlorination occurred during photodegradation of TCP. Although TCP can be degraded via photolysis, many degradation products remained in the aqueous medium and only some of them, the reductive dechlorination products, can be mineralized by Pseudomonas sp. ATCC 700113. The degradation of the parent compound, TCP, by Pseudomonas sp. ATCC 700113 also appears to involve a reductive dechlorination mechanism. A consortium of microorganisms may be needed if a treatment process combining microbial and photolytic activity is to be used to remove TCP in industrial wastewater.
scite is a Brooklyn-based organization that helps researchers better discover and understand research articles through Smart Citations–citations that display the context of the citation and describe whether the article provides supporting or contrasting evidence. scite is used by students and researchers from around the world and is funded in part by the National Science Foundation and the National Institute on Drug Abuse of the National Institutes of Health.
