Abstract
Oxidation of trichloroethylene and derivatives of phenol, which are toxic compounds present in water, to harmless species has been carried out in the presence of modified clays such as HDTMA-immobilized-interlayer-Mn(VII) (surfactant immobilized manganate clay) and Mn+-bent-Mn (VII) (metal cations like Al, Cr, Fe, Cu, Ni, Mn & Zn impregnated on manganate clays), by treating the toxic compounds with HDTMA-immobilized-interlayer-Mn(VII) clay and Mn+-bent-Mn (VII) clays. The oxidation reaction was monitored by measuring the absorbance after every hour using a UV-Visible spectrophotometer at a definite wavelength.
