Bioremediation of Soils Contaminated by Polychlorinated Biphenyls, M.Sc. Thesis Sharif University of Technology ; Yaghmaei, Soheila (Supervisor) ; Ghobadi Nejad, Zahra (Co-Supervisor)
Abstract
Polychlorinated Biphenyls are a class of organic compounds that are composed of two biphenyl rings attached by 1-10 chlorine atoms. Due to their specific properties, such as physical and chemical stability, flame resistance, and dielectric properties, these compounds are used as dielectric liquids, heat-exchange fluids, hydraulic liquids, plastifiers, and especially as Askarel oil in power plant transformer. Because of their high persistency in the environment, high toxicity, and bioaccumulation in the adipose tissue of humans and animals, their production is banned in most countries, and their use has been limited. There are different methods for detoxification of these compounds, and in...
