scholarly journals Coexistence of Substituted Phenols Reduces the Fouling Ability of Phenol in Non-aqueous Solvents

The electrooxidation of phenol showed different rate of deactivation by varying the concentration of substituted phenols (4-chlorophenol, 4-methoxyphenol, 4-tert-butylphenol). This was due to the more favourable solubility properties of the product copolymers compared with poly(phenyleneoxide) the product which forms when only unsubstituted phenol is present. The nature of substituent, switching potential and oxidation potentials of the studied phenols were significant in prevention of electrode fouling. The best reproducibility could be achived upon addition of 4-chlorophenol. This offered a possibility for estimation of phenol concentration in non-aqueous systems.

In a preceding study, the molecular hydrophobicity (RM0) was determined experimentally from reverse-phase thin-layer chromatography data for several substituted phenols and 2-(aryloxy-a-acetyl)-phenoxathiin derivatives, obtained from the corresponding phenoxides and 2-(a-bromoacetyl)-phenoxathiin. QSPR correlations for RM0 were explored using four calculated molecular descriptors: the water solubility parameter (log Sw), log P, the Gibbs energy of formation (DGf), and the aromaticity index (HOMA). Triparametric correlations do not improve substantially the biparametric correlation of RM0 in terms of log Sw and HOMA.

The metabolic pathway of the phenol degradation in Pseudomonasputida BH was amplified by introducing the recombinant plasmid containing catechol 2,3 oxygenase gene isolated fron the chromosome of BH. This strain could degrade phenol and grow much faster than the wild strain at the phenol concentration of 100mg/L. This strain seems to accelerate the phenol removal rate if it is applied to the treatment of wastewater containing phenol.
