Volatile organic compounds (VOCs) are the organic compounds having a minimum vapor
pressure of 0.13 kPa at standard temperature and pressure (293 K, 101 kPa). Being used as …

Dioxane is an emerging contaminant in drinking-water sources and contaminated sites.
Microbial removal of 1, 4-dioxane has attracted a lot of attention, but faces a challenge …

Pd0 catalysis and microbially catalyzed reduction of nitrate (NO3–-N) were combined as a
strategy to increase the kinetics of NO3–reduction and control selectivity to N2 gas versus …

A particular challenge to treatment systems for ship wastewater comes from low and variable
temperatures. We evaluated the temperature response (35–15° C) of a novel biological …

Among a number of persistent chlorofluorocarbons (CFCs, or freons), the emissions of
trichlorofluoromethane (CFCl3, CFC-11) have been increasing since 2002. Zero-valent-Pd …

We have recently developed a highly active ligand-enabled (L) Mo–Pd/C catalyst (L= 4, 4′-
diamino-2, 2′-bipyridine) for aqueous perchlorate (ClO4–) reduction with 1 atm H2 at room …

Abstract Emissions of 2, 4-dichlorophenoxyactic acid (2, 4-D), one of the most widely used
herbicides, pose serious risks to human and ecosystem health. Although biodegradation …

While co-oxidation is widely used to biodegrade halogenated organic pollutants (HOPs), a
considerable amount of organic primary substrate is required. Adding organic primary …

Groundwater contamination by chlorinated ethenes is an urgent concern worldwide. One
approach for detoxifying chlorinated ethenes is aerobic co-metabilims using ethane (C 2 H …

Diclofenac (DCF) is a most widely used anti-inflammatory drug, which has attracted
worldwide attention given its low biodegradability and ecological damage, especially toxic …
