W pracy badano biodegradację 4-chlorofenolu przez szczep Stenotrophomonas maltophilia KB2 w układzie kometabolicznym z fenolem jako substratem wzrostowym. Eksperymenty prowadzono w reaktorze okresowym, w temperaturze 30°C, przy pH środowiska 7 i natlenieniu rzędu 5–7 mgtlenu•l-3. Zmieniając w szerokim zakresie początkowe stężenia fenolu (50 do 300 g•m-3) i 4-chlorofenolu (25 do 100 g•m-3) analizowano wpływ zmian stężeń obu substratów na szybkość ich transformacji i wzrost biomasy. Oszacowano również wartości współczynnika wydajności transformacyjnej substratu wzrostowego (W) oraz współczynnika f, wskazującego, jaka część równoważników redukcyjnych z utlenienia fenolu została użyta do transformacji 4-chlorofenolu.

The cometabolic biodegradation of 4-chlorophenol by Stenotrophomonas maltophilia KB2 strain in the presence of phenol as the sole carbon and energy source was studied. The experiments were carried out in a batch bioreactor. The tests were conducted at 30°C, pH 7 and oxygenation maintained at the level of 5–7 mg•l-3. The effect of changes in initial concentration of both substrates on the rate of biomass growth and substrates transformation were analyzed. The initial concentration of phenol was changed within the range of 50–300 g•m-3 and 4-chlorophenol within the range of 25–100 g•m-3. The values of growth substrate transformation yield (W) and the f coefficient, indicating the fraction of reductant from phenol oxidation used to transform 4-chlorophenol, were also estimated.

The removal of organic contaminants such as aliphatic and aromatic hydrocarbons, phenols and related compounds, halogenated compounds, polycyclic aromatic hydrocarbons, aldehydes, ketones, acids, detergents, fats, dyes etc. from water and sewage is still an interesting and significant problem in environmental engineering. Both household and industrial waste is a source of organic contaminants in the environment. Higher and higher requirements regarding treated waste that is directed to water or the ground require constant development of the waste treatment process. The literature data and implemented solutions indicate that more and more attention is now paid to the use of sorption and advanced oxidation processes for the removal of organic compounds. The highest significance and application among available sorbents has activated carbon. The sorption properties of activated carbon are dependent on its porous structure, produced by the system of interconnected macro-, meso- and micropores as well as the chemical composition of the surface resulting from the presence of oxygen functional groups. Activated carbon is especially useful as sorbents of phenol and chlorophenol. It has been shown that the adsorption ability of activated carbon depends on the specific surface area, porosity and surface chemical composition. High affinity of phenol to the surface of activated carbon is related to the creation of donor-acceptor complexes between alkaline locations on the sorbent’s surface and the aromatic ring. Oxidation of activated carbon’s surface leading to increased acidity lowers the sorption capacity of activated carbon. While the presence of metals increases the sorption capacity of activated carbon in relation to phenol due to the donor-acceptor interaction of metal-electrons of π aromatic ring in the phenol particle. Another method of successful oxidation of phenols is their oxidation especially with the AOP methods (Advanced Oxidation Processe)s. A characteristic feature of these methods is oxidation of generally all organic compounds to CO2, H2O and inorganic compounds with the use of the hydroxyl radical OH* (generated in the solution) of extremely high oxidising potential of 2,8 V. Phenols and the related compounds quite easily undergo oxidation, especially with Fenton and photo-Fenton reactions. Both sorption and oxidation of organic compounds (including phenols) with AOP methods have advantages (high output and efficiency) and disadvantages (treatment of used sorbents, significant use of oxidants and increased sewage volume). In order to focus on the advantages of sorption and advanced oxidation while limiting their disadvantageous effect a combination of these two processes is considered. In this case the removal of contaminants is arranged as a two- or one-stage process. In the first one the removal of organic compounds covers sorption and then oxidation of the adsorbed substances with the use of AOP, which leads to a simultaneous regeneration of activated carbon. While in the latter case simultaneous sorption and oxidation of organic compounds is considered. In these both cases activated carbon acts as a sorbent of organic compounds and catalyst in the production of hydroxyl radicals OH* which are responsible for oxidation of organic compounds both in the solution and adsorbed on the activated carbon. It has been proven that in the presence of activated carbon in the environment of hydrogen peroxide, oxidation occurs of such organic compounds that do not undergo oxidation with the same oxidant in the aqueous solution. The applicability of activated carbon for the simultaneous removal of organic compounds is dependent on both their sorption and catalytic properties. Activated carbon should be alkaline, have high specific volume, pores’ volume, iodine number and significant dechlorination ability.The applicability of oxidation of organic compounds with the use of hydroxyl radicals created on the surface of activated carbon for regeneration of the used sorbents has also been proven.

The degradation of 2-chlorophenol (2-CP) by persulfate was investigated. The kinetics of persulfate oxidation of 2-chlorophenol in aqueous solutions at various pH, oxidant concentration, temperature, Fe2+ > and Cu2+ ions content was studied. Maximum of 2-CP degradation occurred at pH 8. The oxidation rate of 2-CP increased with increasing the persulfate molar excess. The degradation process was significantly influenced by temperature – the higher temperature results in a faster degradation of 2-CP. The activation of persulfate by ferrous and copper ions was also studied. Results showed that persulfate is activated more effectively by iron(II) than copper(II) ions. A comparison of different persulfate activation methods revealed that heat-activation was the most effective. Under optimal conditions, in the presence of ferrous ions at 50 °C, complete degradation of 2-chlorophenol was achieved after about 30 minutes.

Physical, chemical, morphological properties and sorption characteristics of anaerobically digested dewatered municipal sewage sludge have been investigated including the surface area, pore size distribution, chemical composition, surface chemistry structure, surface physical morphology, mineralogy, cation exchange capacity, heavy metal content, total solid, total volatile solid, total Kjeldahl-N, total phosphorus content of the sewage sludge. The sorption potential of sewage sludge for the removal of 4-CP and 2,4-DCP from aqueous solutions was examined by investigating their adsorption isotherms and kinetics in a lab-scale batch study. Findings of this study clearly showed that sewage sludge provides chlorophenol removal in the landfill body as disposed with solid wastes.

The aim of the present work was to test the effectiveness and catalytic activity of titanium dioxide in the photodecomposition reaction of chlorobenzene and chlorophenol. It was found out that almost total photo-decomposition occurred in solutions of its very low concentration. The influence of oxygen and hydrogen peroxide was studied. In the case of chlorobenzene identification of intermediate products was carried out.
