“…Firstly, it can be generated by oxidation of phenol; secondly, the oxidation of aniline with manganese dioxide in acidic conditions, followed by reduction with iron dust in aqueous medium; finally, the alkylation of benzene with propylene to originate the para -di-isopropylbenzene isomer, besides other isomers, which is oxidized and produces the corresponding dihydroperoxide, that is subsequently treated with an acid to originate hydroquinone [28]. …”

Hydroquinone is a major benzene metabolite, which is a well-known haematotoxic and carcinogenic agent associated with malignancy in occupational environments. Human exposure to hydroquinone can occur by dietary, occupational, and environmental sources. In the environment, hydroquinone showed increased toxicity for aquatic organisms, being less harmful for bacteria and fungi. Recent pieces of evidence showed that hydroquinone is able to enhance carcinogenic risk by generating DNA damage and also to compromise the general immune responses which may contribute to the impaired triggering of the host immune reaction. Hydroquinone bioremediation from natural and contaminated sources can be achieved by the use of a diverse group of microorganisms, ranging from bacteria to fungi, which harbor very complex enzymatic systems able to metabolize hydroquinone either under aerobic or anaerobic conditions. Due to the recent research development on hydroquinone, this review underscores not only the mechanisms of hydroquinone biotransformation and the role of microorganisms and their enzymes in this process, but also its toxicity.

Nanocrystalline zeolites of different framework structures were prepared by the addition of suitable structure directing agents in the synthesis composition of conventional zeolites. Zeolite modified carbon paste electrodes were constructed for the simultaneous determination of dihydroxybenzene isomers. Nanocrystalline zeolite Beta modified carbon paste electrode exhibited the highest electrocatalytic activity. Under optimum conditions, wide linear range was obtained from 150 nM to 400 µM with lower detection limit of 100, 130, and 100 nM for hydroquinone, catechol, and resorcinol, respectively. The analytical performance of the proposed sensor was demonstrated in the simultaneous determination of dihydroxybenzene isomers in different environmental water samples.

In this study, iron (Fe) impregnated granular activated carbon (Fe-GAC) has been synthesized and characterized for various properties. Comparative studies have been performed for use of Fe-GAC as an adsorbent as well as a catalyst during catalytic oxidation of hydroquinone (HQ). In the batch adsorption study, effect of process parameter like initial HQ concentration (Co = 25-1,000 mg/L), pH (2-10), contact time (t: 0-24 h), temperature (T: 15-45°C) and adsorbent dose (w: 5-50 g/L) have been studied. Maximum HQ adsorption efficiency of 75% was obtained at optimum parametric condition of: pH = 4, w = 40 g/L and t = 14 h. Pseudo-second order model best-fitted the HQ adsorption kinetics whereas Langmuir model best-represented the isothermal equilibrium behavior. During oxidation studies, effect of various process parameters like initial HQ concentration (Co: 20-100 mg/L), pH (4-8), oxidant dose (CH2O2: 0.4-1.6 mL/L) and catalyst dose (m: 0.5-1.5 g/L) have been optimized using Taguchi experimental design matrix. Maximum HQ removal efficiency of 83.56% was obtained at optimum condition of Co = 100 mg/L, pH = 6, CH2O2 = 0.4 mL/L, and m = 1 g/L. Overall use of Fe-GAC during catalytic oxidation seems to be a better as compared to its use an adsorbent for treatment of HQ bearing wastewater.
