Isolation and optimization of microbial consortia for the biodegradation of two persistent fluorinated fungicides
Alexandrino D., Mucha A., Almeida C., (Corresponding) Carvalho M.
Topic:
Soil and groundwater contamination and remediation
Microbial consortia capable of completely removing and defluorinating two persistent fluorinated fungicides, epoxiconazole (EPO) and fludioxonil (FLU), were enriched from an estuarine sediment and an agriculture soil. The enrichments were conducted along 6 months, during which the fungicides were...Read more
Photocatalytic Degradation of Tebuconazole Fungicide using Palygorskite-TiO2 nanocomposites.

Topic:
Nanomaterials in the environmnents applications and effects
In our study a combination of Palygorskite clay mineral with TiO2 nanoparticles used for the decomposition of the common tebuconazole (TEB), C16H22ClN3O, [(RS)-1-p-chlorophenyl-4,4-dimethyl-3-(1H-1,2,4-triazol-1-ylmethyl)-pentan-3-ol], fungicide in water. For this purpose, Palygorskite-TiO2...Read more
