- Abstract
- Hexabromocyclododecane (HBCD) is a persistent organic pollutant that accumulates in soil and sediments, however, it has been difficult to degrade HBCD with developed remediation technologies so far. In this study, degradation of HBCD by bimetallic iron-based nanoparticles (NPs) under both aqueous and soil conditions considering the effects of humic acids (HAs) and tobacco plant was investigated. In the aqueous solution, 99% of the total HBCD (15 mM) was transformed by Pd/nFe (1 g L-1) within 9 h of treatment and the HBCD debromination by Pd/nFe increased with the addition of HAs. In the soil system, 13%, 15%, 41% and 27% of the total HBCD were removed by treatments consisting of plant only, plant with HAs, plant with NPs and plant + NPs + HAs, respectively, compared to the HBCD removal in an unplanted soil. The 221-986 ng/g of HBCD were detected inside the plant after the treatments, and HAs showed considerable influence on the selective bioaccumulation of HBCD stereoisomers in the plant. Overall, this approach represents a meaningful attempt to develop an efficient and eco-friendly technology for HBCD removal, and it provides advantages for the sustainable remediation of recalcitrant emerging contaminants in soils.
