| Abstract: |
| 1,2,4-trichlorobenzene(1,2,4-TCB) has been used for a solvent, a degreaser, a lubricant and a chemical intermediate, thus causing environmental pollution. This paper was aimed to evaluate the degradability and adsorption of 1,2,4-TCB by mixed bacteria fixed on activated carbon in soil. The mixture of bacteria uses 1,2,4-TCB as the sole carbon source. The experimental conditions were 30 ℃ of temperature, 5-9.6 μg·g-1 of 1,2,4-TCB, and 0.4 g of coconut-shell activated carbon(< 1 mm). During 23 days, the degradation of 1, 2, 4-TCB by the activated carbon-bacteria was up to 48.1% and the maximum adsorption capacity of 1,2,4-TCB was 0.215 mg·g-1. The degradability of 1,2,4-TCB in soil was greater under activated carbon-bacteria than under activated carbon alone. Langmuir adsorption model described the adsorption process very well. The adsorption kinetics of 1,2,4-TCB by activated carbon-bacteria was best fitted to the pseudo-second-order kinetic model. Surface adsorption and pore filling of activated carbon might be two main processes of 1,2,4-TCB adsorption by activated carbon-bacteria. |
