Phylogenetically distinct bacteria involve extensive dechlorination of aroclor 1260 in sediment-free cultures. [PDF]
PLoS ONE, 2013 Microbial reductive dechlorination of the persistent polychlorinated biphenyls (PCBs) is attracting much attention in cleanup of the contaminated environment.

Journal of Chemistry, 2014 In contrast to previous studies which employed zero-valent iron powder, this paper investigated reductive dechlorination of hexachloroethane (HCA) using iron shavings and bimetallic iron shavings modified with Cu, Ag, or Pd.

Selective enrichment yields robust ethene-producing dechlorinating cultures from microcosms stalled at cis-dichloroethene. [PDF]
PLoS ONE, 2014 Dehalococcoides mccartyi strains are of particular importance for bioremediation due to their unique capability of transforming perchloroethene (PCE) and trichloroethene (TCE) to non-toxic ethene, through the intermediates cis-dichloroethene (cis-DCE ...

Mimicking reductive dehalogenases for efficient electrocatalytic water dechlorination
Nature Communications, 2023 Electrochemical technology is a robust approach to removing toxic and persistent chlorinated organic pollutants from water; however, it remains a challenge to design electrocatalysts with high activity and selectivity as elaborately as natural reductive ...

Microorganisms, 2022 Towards chlorinated solvents, the effectiveness of the remediation strategy can be improved by combining a biological approach (e.g., anaerobic reductive dechlorination) with chemical/physical treatments (e.g., adsorption).

Reductive dechlorination of all trichloro- and dichlorobenzene isomers [PDF]
FEMS Microbiology Letters, 1988 All three isomers of trichlorobenzene were reductively dechlorinated to monochlorobenzene via dichlorobenzenes in anaerobic sediment columns. The dechlorination was specific: 1,2,3- and 1,3,5-trichlorobenzene were solely transformed to 1,3-dichlorobenzene, while 1,4-dichlorobenzene was the only product of 1,2,4-trichlorobenzene transformation ...

Reductive Dechlorination of the Nitrogen Heterocyclic Herbicide Picloram [PDF]
Applied and Environmental Microbiology, 1993 The anaerobic biodegradation of picloram (3,5,6-trichloro-4-amino-2-pyridinecarboxylic acid) in freshwater sediment was favored under methanogenic conditions but not when sulfate or nitrate was available as a terminal electron acceptor. Under the former conditions, more than 85% of the parent substrate (340 μM) was removed from nonsterile ...

Journal of Analytical Methods in Chemistry, 2014 Hexachlorobenzene (HCB) is a persistent organic pollutant and poses great threat on ecosystem and human health. In order to investigate the degradation law of HCB, a RuO2/Ti material was used as the anode, meanwhile, zinc, stainless steel, graphite, and ...
