Summary:(2006a) studied the kinetics of 2,4,6-trichlorophenol (TCP) biodegradation by an acclimated microbial culture from the aeration basin of a wastewater treatment plant. (2006) examined the biodegradation of polycyclic aromatic hydrocarbon (PAH) and di(2-ethylhexyl)phthalate micropollutants in mesophilic and thermophilic anaerobic sewage sludge digestion. (2006) studied the anaerobic cometabolic transformation of polycyclic and heterocyclic aromatic hydrocarbons.\n The formation of ferrous ions on the ZVI surface decreased TCE degradation rate. Results revealed that the PCE degradation rate was enhanced by 2 to 84 times in the presence of various metal ions, including Ni(II), Cu(II) and Co(II) while the presence of humic acid tended to decrease the reaction rate due to in part the stronger affinity of humic acid toward the active sites of the ZVI surface than PCE.
