Highly toxic phenol causes a threat to the ecosystem and human body. The development of bioremediation is a crucial issue in environmental protection. Herein, Rhodococcus biphenylivorans B403, which was isolated from the activated sludge of the sewage treatment plant, exhibited a good tolerance and removal efficiency to phenol. The degradation…[Read more]

An approach with enormous potential is solid-phase extraction, which allows the selective retention and enrichment of stabilizers. Herein, the very first application of high-temperature solid-phase extraction for the extraction of stabilizers from polyolefin matrices is described; as with other extraction techniques, the identification and…[Read more]
