Aerobic Biodegradation of Surfactants
, 2013 Surfactants are a wide group of chemical compounds which have a large number of applica‐ tions due to their solubility properties, detergency, endurance of water hardness, as well as emulsifying, dispersing, and wetting properties. Surfactants have a characteristic structure, with one or several hydrocarbon chains that form the lipophilic part of the ...

Aerobic and anaerobic biodegradability of a flocculant polymer
Water Science and Technology, 2001 Flocculant polymers are used to improve the efficiency of separation processes used in wastewater treatment. The subsequent fate and effects of these additives are uncertain, however, with some previous reports indicating them to be biodegradable while others indicate complete recalcitrance.

Aerobic and Anaerobic PCB Biodegradation in the Environment [PDF]
Environmental Health Perspectives, 1995 Studies have identified two distinct biological processes capable of biotransforming polychlorinated biphenyls (PCBs): aerobic oxidative processes and anaerobic reductive processes. It is now known that these two complementary activities are occurring naturally in the environment.

Journal of Applied Polymer Science, EarlyView.Mechanistic insights from additive‐assisted plastic degradation guide the design of environmentally adaptive textile fibers. Functional additives enhance oxidative, hydrolytic, enzymatic, and microbial degradation pathways. Translating these strategies requires control of fiber architecture, additive distribution, and environmental interactions ...
