TI  - Remediation of soil contaminated with 2,4-dichlorophenol by treatment of minced 
      shepherd's purse roots.
PG  - 191-5
AB  - This study investigated the applicability of minced shepherd's purse root 
      containing high peroxidase activity as a catalytic agent instead of purified and 
      immobilized peroxidase for the remediation of soil contaminated with phenolic 
      pollutants, using 2,4-dichlorophenol (2,4-DCP) as a model pollutant. The removal 
      of 2,4-DCP in the soil was extremely fast when treated with peroxide and minced 
      shepherd's purse root, and maximal removal was achieved within 10 min. Increasing 
      the reaction temperature did not significantly influence removal of 2,4-DCP 
      incubated with shepherd's purse. The removal of 2,4-DCP was dependent on the 
      amount of shepherd's purse and the soil moisture content. Increasing the amount 
      of shepherd's purse and moisture mixed with soil caused an increased removal of 
      2,4-DCP. Calcium peroxide was more effective than hydrogen peroxide, and maximal 
      removal was achieved in 20 mM of both peroxides. The efficiency of 2,4-DCP 
      removal decreased with increasing 2,4-DCP concentration but was greater than 60% 
      at 500 to 1000 mg kg(-1). Our results provide strong evidence that shepherd's 
      purse can be used to remediate soil contaminated with phenolic pollutants.
