An acid, 2,2-dichloropropionic acid (2,2-DCP) is an active ingredient in herbicide (Dalapon®). Using 2,2-DCP as a model substrate, an alkalotolerant bacterium was successfully isolated from the Blue Lake, Turkey. This bacterium is a potential bioremediation agent of recalcitrant xenobiotic halogenated compounds. This study aimed to prove the efficacy of the alkalotolerance Bacillus megaterium BHS1 in degrading 2,2-DCP as the sole source of carbon. Biolog GEN III system and 16S rRNA analysis were used for the identification of the bacterium. It was discovered that the strain BHS1 is Bacillus m ...More
In this study, a ternary layered double hydroxide containing Zn, Co, and Fe transition metals (ZnCoFe LDH) was developed using a co-precipitation procedure. The as-synthesized photocatalyst was evaluated for its perfor-mance in the degradation of methylene blue (MB) under visible light irradiation. The effects of various process conditions including photocatalyst dosage, pollutant concentration, pH, lamp distance, and lamp power were investigated. The ZnCoFe LDH achieved approximately 74 photodegradation efficiency owing to the narrow bandgap of 2.14 eV. The Langmuir-Hinselwood rate constants ...More
