“…Because of its polarity PCP can leach into groundwater, thus causing a threat to humans and to the environment. A recent study indicated that chlorophenols, such as PCP, are the main cause of detrimental health effects in human in contaminated areas [1]. In addition, PCP can be converted into more toxic dimers, such as chlorinated dibenzo-p-dioxins and dibenzofurans, via a variety of oxidation processes even at ambient temperature, e.g.…”

Pentachlorophenol (PCP) in contaminated soil was removed by treatment with aqueous solutions of iron(III)-porphyrin complexes as catalysts and potassium monopersulfate (KHSO 5 ) as the oxygen donor. The contaminated soils were artificially prepared by spiking PCP to the kaolin and ando soils. Three types of iron(III)-porphyrin complexes, tetra( p-sulfophenyl) porphineiron(III) (Fe(III)-TPPS), tetra(N-methyl-4-pyridil)porphineiron(III) (Fe(III)-TMPyP) and heme, were examined, and Fe(III)-TPPS was found to be the most effective for removing PCP. Although the sequential addition of KHSO 5 was examined, in an attempt to improve the efficiency of PCP removal, it was not effective. In a preliminary test of various aqueous solutions, the addition of humic acid (HA), with a lower degree of humification, led to a significant enhancement in PCP removal. When HA was added to the soil system, the percentages of PCP removal were increased by up to 10% compared to the absence of HA. Therefore, the addition of HA to the catalytic system was useful in enhancing PCP removal from contaminated soil.

Degradation of pentachlorophenol in a contaminated soil suspension using hybrid catalysts prepared via urea–formaldehyde polycondensation between iron(III)-tetrakis(p-hydroxyphenyl)porphyrin and humic acid

Hybrid catalysts were synthesized by attaching iron(III)-tetrakis(p-hydroxyphenyl)porphyrin (FeTPP(OH) 4 ) to humic acid (HA) via urea-formaldehyde polycondensation. FTIR spectra of the prepared catalysts indicated that the catalysts prepared via urea-formaldehyde polycondensation contained cross-links between the phenolic groups of FeT-PP(OH) 4 and HA, which contains aliphatic amine functional groups. The prepared catalysts were examined for their ability to catalyze the oxidative degradation of pentachlorophenol (PCP) in a contaminated soil suspension. The levels of PCP degradation and dechlorination for the hybrid catalysts were significantly higher than those for the non-modified catalyst, FeTPP(OH) 4 .
