Twelve chlorophenols (CPs) were extracted by liquid phase microextraction (LPME) from the industrial waste-water and analyzed by GC/MS. To establish the optimal conditions, species of extraction solvent, sample amount, pH of sample, salting out effect, a number of sampling and plunger movement speed were investigated. As a result, the linearities of calibaration curves ranged from 0.9913 to 0.9999, while LODs and LOQs were from 0.05 to 10.0 ng/mL except 2,3,4,5-tetrachlorophenol and pentachlorophenol. Using this method, 4-chloro-3-methylphenol confirmed from waste water at the concentration of 784 ng/mL. The method can be applicable to detect chlorophenols from industrial waste-water.

Reductive dechlorination of chlorophenols by nickel coated iron was investigated to understand the feasibility of using Ni/Fe for the in situ remediation of contaminated groundwater. Zero Valent Iron(ZVI) was amended with Ni(II) ions to form bimetal(Ni/Fe). Dechlorination of five chlorophenol compounds and formation of intermediates were examined using Ni/Fe. Rate constant for each reaction pathway was quantified by the numerical integration of a series of differential rate equation. Experimental results showed that the sequence of hydrodechlorination rate constant was in the order of 2-CP>4-CP>2,4-DCP>2,4,6-TCP>2,6-DCP. The hydrodechlorination pathways for the conversion of each chlorophenol compound involves a full dechlorination to phenol via both concerted and stepwise mechanisms. Reaction pathways and corresponding kinetic rate constants were suggested based on the experiments and numerical simulations.

Removal of 4-chlorophenol (4CP) by natural manganese dioxide (NMD) catalyzed reaction was investigated in this study. Tests were also carried out to evaluate the effects of pH and natural organic matter (NOM) on the degradative oxidation of 4CP. Experimental results proved that NMD was effective for the removal of 4CP. Extensive kinetic analysis suggests that overall oxidation of 4CP by NMD is second-order reaction, the first-order with respect to 4CP, and the first-order with respect to NMD, respectively. Also, 4CP oxidation rates on the Mn-oxide surfaces were highly dependent upon experimental conditions such as pH, initial concentration of 4CP or NMD, and existence of humic acid. As pH increased above PZC of NMD, the reaction rate of 4CP was decreased, due to the low affinity of 4CP on NMD at high pH. At pH lower than PZC of NMD, reaction rate of 4CP was also decreased. It was considered that humic acid was involved in the oxidative coupling reaction of 4CP by NMD, resulting in the enhanced degradation rate of 4CP. This study proved that natural manganese oxide can be effectively applied for the removal of chlorophenols in aqueous phase.

The degradation of 2-chlorophenol(2-CP) by various AOPs(Advanced Oxidation Processes) including the photo-Fenton process has been examined. In sole $Fe^{2+}$, UV or $H_2O_2$ process without combination, low removal efficiencies have been achieved. But the photo-Fenton process showed higher removal efficiency for degradation of 2-chlorophenol than those of other AOPs including the Fenton process and the UV processes. In the photo-Fenton process, the optimal experimental conditions of 2-chlorophenol degradation were obtained at pH 3 and the $Fe^{2+}/H_2O_2$molar ratio of 1. Also the 2-chlorophenol removal efficiency increased with decreasing of the initial 2-chlorophenol concentration. 3-chlorocatechol and chlorohydroquinone were identified as photo-Fenton reaction intermediates, and a degradation pathway of 2-chlorophenol in the aqueous phase during the photo-Fenton reaction was proposed.

The degradation of 4-chlorophenol by various AOPs(Advanced Oxidation Processes) including the Fenton and the photo-Fenton process has been examined. In sole Fe, UV or $H_2O_2$ process without combination, low removal efficiencies have been achieved. But the photo-Fenton process showed higher removal efficiency for degradation of 4-chlorophenol than those of other AOPs including the Fenton process. Generally more hydrogen peroxide was required to achieve higher removal efficiencies of 4-CP at constant dosage of $FeSO_4$ in both of the Fenton and the photo-Fenton processes. Based on the results, The photo-Fenton process is proposed to be the most efficient alternative for degradation of 4-chlorophenol among the processes studied in this research.

A new technique was proposed for the determination of alkylphenols, chlorophenols and bisphenol A in korean aquatic biological samples. The alkylphenols, chlorophenols and bisphenol A in korean aquatic biological samples were extracted with acetonitrile and then acetonitrile layer was refrigerated at $-60^{\circ}C$ for 2 hours(freezing filtration method). Also, solid-phase extraction(SPE) was used to XAD-4 and subsequent conversion to isobutoxycarbonyl(isoBOC) or tert-butyldimethylsilyl(TBDMS) derivatives for sensitive analysis with gas chromatography/mass spectrometry-selected ion monitoring(GC/MS-SIM) mode. For isoBOC derivatization and TBDMS derivatization the recoveries were $70.1\sim150.6%$ and $93.8\sim108.3%$, the method detection limit(MDLs) of bisphenol A for SIM were $0.062{\mu}g/kg$ and $0.010{\mu}g/kg$, and the SIM respectively. When these methods were applied to korean aquatic biological samples, the concentrations of the 11 phenolic EDCs were $0.675\sim1.970{\mu}g/kg$.

Reaction of thianthrene cation radical perchlorate (1) with cumene (4), p-chlorocumene (2), and p-nitrocumene (3) hydroperoxides in acetonitrile at room temperature afforded, inter alia, thianthrene as a common product and 5-(4'-hydroxyphenyl) thianthrenium perchlorate (5) for 4, 5-(5'-chloro-2'-hydroxyphenyl) thianthrenium perchlorate (7) and 5-acetonylthianthrenium perchlorate (6) for 2 and 6 for 3, respectively. Stoichiometry of these reactions showed that 2 moles of 1 gave rise to 1mole of thianthrene and 1 mole of thianthrenium salt (or salts). Nucleophilic reactivity to 1 was found to be in the order of phenol > > p-chlorophenol ${\sim}$ acetone > > p-nitrophenol. Apart from acid-catalyzed heterolytic decomposition of hydroperoxides, small amount of homolytic decomposition products were found from 3 and 4.

The simultaneous analysis of alkylphenols, chlorophenols and bisphenol A in biota samples was performed by gas chromatography-mass spectrometry-selected ion monitoring mode. The phenols were extracted from sample with organic solvent and Forisil and Silica columns for clean-up procedure were compared. Recovery studies were performed at 1-ppm level of phenols added to each biota sample. Their recoveries ranged between 83 and 116% with coefficient of variations of 2.4-11.9%. To improve the detection limits of phenols, trimethylsilyl (TMS) derivatization was applied. The gas chromatographic properties of free phenols and TMS derivatized phenols were also investigated.

In this study, we examined the movement of chlorophenol as a precursor of the dioxin in the after-combustion to minimize the creation and emission of dioxin in a municipal waste incinerator. The CPs was injected to the electric incinerator in temperature $300{\sim}500^{\circ}C$, using $N_2$ gas to control the reaction time, The oxygen quantity supplied into the $CP_s's$ isomer combustion was added with the value of experience formula. When the space velocity in reactor was 60~80/sec, the removal efficiency of CP was obtained in the presence of Mo-V catalyst and non catalyst. The efficiency in non-catalyst was 74% to 80% mono-CP, di-CP 55~66%, tri-CP 50~58%, while mono-CP 90~99.9%, di-CP 96~97%, tri-CP 76~99% in a catalyst. Consequently, it was shown that these were 20~30% more efficienct than those.
