Abstract
The focus of this paper was to study the toxicity and degradability of 2,4‐dichlorophenol in methanogenic acetate enrichment systems. Anaerobic toxicity assays (serum bottle study) and upflow column studies were performed. This research showed that up to 85 ppm of 2,4‐dichlorophenol does not cause significant inhibition to the acetate enrichment methanogenic culture and up to 25 ppm of 2,4‐dichlorophenol can be effectively removed anaerobically with no detectable intermediate chlorophenols in the effluent.
