Chlorophenols (CPs) are widely used industrial chemicals that have been identified as being toxic to both humans and the environment. Zero valent iron (ZVI) and iron based bimetallic systems have the potential to efficiently dechlorinate CPs. This paper reviews the research conducted in this area over the past decade, with emphasis on the processes and mechanisms for the removal of CPs, as well as the characterization and role of the iron oxides formed on the ZVI surface. The removal of dissolved CPs in iron-water systems occurs via dechlorination, sorption and co-precipitation. Although ZVI has been commonly used for the dechlorination of CPs, its long term reactivity is limited due to surface passivation over time. However, iron based bimetallic systems are an effective alternative for overcoming this limitation. Bimetallic systems prepared by physically mixing ZVI and the catalyst or through reductive deposition of a catalyst onto ZVI have been shown to display superior performance over unmodified ZVI. Nonetheless, the efficiency and rate of hydrodechlorination of CPs by bimetals depend on the type of metal combinations used, properties of the metals and characteristics of the target CP. The presence and formation of various iron oxides can affect the reactivities of ZVI and bimetals. Oxides, such as green rust and magnetite, facilitate the dechlorination of CPs by ZVI and bimetals, while oxide films, such as hematite, maghemite, lepidocrocite and goethite, passivate the iron surface and hinder the dechlorination reaction. Key environmental parameters, such as solution pH, presence of dissolved oxygen and dissolved co-contaminants, exert significant impacts on the rate and extent of CP dechlorination by ZVI and bimetals.

The isolated strain, Rhodococcus sp. EL-GT was able to degrade high phenol concentrations up to 10 mM within 24 hours in the medium consisting of 5.3 mM $KH_2PO_4$. 95 mM $Na_2HPO_4$, 18mM $NH_4NO_3$, 1 mM $MgSO_4{\cdot}7H_2O$,\;50{\mu}M CaCl_2$,\;0.5 {\mu}M FeCl_3$, initial pH 8.0, temperature $30^{\circ}C$ in rotary shaker at 200 rpm. This strain was good cell growth and phenol degradation in the alkaline pH range range, and the highest in the pH range of 7 to 9. The microorganism was able to grow at the various chlorinated phenols, benzene, toluene, and bunker-C oil. As Rhodococcus sp. EL-GT was good capable of attachment on the acryl media, it would be used as microorganism to consist of biofilm in wastewater treatment.

볶은 보리 알과 보리 티백으로부터 일상적인 차를 만드는 과정에 따라 보리차를 제조할 때 염소로 소독된 물로부터 염소소독부산물의 수준이 감소되는지의 여부를 알아보았다. 수돗물과 두 종류의 보리차 중의 여덟가지 염소소독부산물 중에서 여섯 가지의 휘발성화합물들은 10분 동안의 가열한 후에 검출한계 이하가 되었으므로, 비휘발성 화합물인 dichloroacetic acid, trichloroacetic acid 및 총잔류염소에 대해 서로 비교하였다. 가열전후의 상대적인 양의 변화를 비교한 결과, 세 항목 모두 유의적인 차이가 발견되지 않았으며, 원래의 물 중에서 존재하지 않았던 새로운 봉우리들이 기체크로마토그래프/전자포획검출기 (GC/ECD)의 총이온크로마토그램(TIC)상에 나타났다. 증류되고 탈이온화된 물을 이용하여 두 종류의 보리차(알곡과 티백), 옥수수차와 결명차를 제조한 후 액-액 추출법과 기체크로마토그래피/질량선택검출(GC/MSD)을 이용하여 phenol류, furan류, pyrrole류 등 33종의 유기화합물을 분리 확인하였다.
