| Summary: | although the addition of the clays did decrease the PCP amended clays to dechlorinate PCP. Based on the method amended with ammonium ions and then exposed to PCP saturated cause serious chronic and acute human diseases at low concentration by sorption. concentrations. It has been widely used in the wood frequently found at many superfund sites in both soil and groundwater. The objective of this thesis is to study mechanisms to dechlorinate PCP into less harmful derivatives. minimal dechlorination of PCP by the ammonium-amended clays Pentachlorophenol (PCP) is a highly toxic chemical which can preserving and biocide industries. As a result, it is procedures for field-scale use of ammonium-treated clay for proposed by Washburn (1995), we tried to develop practical supernatants separated from mixture. The results showed the dechlorination of PCP. A total of seven clays were The method that we are interested in utilizes ammonium- water. GC/MS and GC/ECD techniques were used to analyze |
