TI  - Microbial dechlorination of 2,4,6-trichlorophenol in anaerobic sewage sludge.
PG  - 491-507
AB  - The dechlorination of 2,4,6-trichlorophenol (TCP) in municipal sewage sludge with 
      a chlorophenol (CP)-adapted consortium was investigated. Results show that 
      dechlorination rates differed according to the source of the sludge samples used 
      in the batch experiments. No significant differences in 2,4,6-TCP dechlorination 
      were observed following treatment with inoculum at densities ranging from 10% to 
      50% (V/V), but a significant delay was noted at 5% (V/V) density. Overall, 
      results show that the higher the 2,4,6-TCP concentration, the slower the 
      dechlorination rate. The addition of acetate, lactate, pyruvate, vitamin B12 or 
      manganese dioxide did not results in a significant change in 2,4,6-TCP 
      dechlorination. Data collected from a bioreactor experiment revealed that pH 7.0 
      and a total solid concentration of 10 g/L were optimal for dechlorination. 
      Dechlorination rates decreased significantly at higher agitation speeds. 
      2,4,6-TCP dechlorination was enhanced under methanogenic conditions, but it was 
      inhibited under denitrifying and sulfate-reducing conditions.
