Degradation of dibutyl phthalate by homogeneous photocatalysis with Fe(III) in aqueous solution

Ozonation of humic acid in water

“…Carbon dioxide produced during ozonation was determined as BaCO 3 to inspect the total mineralization of the HA solution using the modified method of Bajt et al 19 CO 2 produced from the HA solution was introduced into a concentrated Ba(OH) 2 solution protected by n-butanol to produce to BaCO 3 . The BaCO 3 was allowed to precipitate and excess Ba(OH) 2 was titrated with oxalic acid solution with phenolphthalein as indicator.…”

Application of heterogeneous adsorbents in removal of dimethyl phthalate: Equilibrium and heat

“…10,11 Among the most common treatment methods, either aerobic or anerobic processes require a relatively long time to render the phthalates harmless because the half-lives for the degradation of the phthalates needs from 1 day to 2 weeks in natural waters. [12][13][14] However, for the industrial wastewater containing DMP with considerably high concentrations (around 100 mg/L), 15 adsorption might be one of the most effective technologies to separate and even recover DMP from the wastewaters. [16][17][18] More recently, polymeric resins have attracted extensive interest for removal of organic compounds from industrial effluents 19 because of high adsorption capacity, excellent adsorption selectivity, strong mechanical property, and good regenerability under mild conditions.…”

Enzymatic activities in constructed wetlands and di-n-butyl phthalate (DBP) biodegradation

“…DBP is relatively stable in the natural environment. The half-life by photodegradation in natural waters ranges from several months to years (Bajt et al, 2001). Studies of DBP biodegradation in seawater, soil, activated sludge and an expanded granular sludge bed revealed a higher degradation rate (Walker et al, 1984;Narayanan et al, 1993).…”
