O-Cresol → Tar acids, methylphenol fraction

Reaction Steps

In the culture system with m-cresol, TCE was remarkably decomposed after about 18 hours of the induction period, and 10 ppm of TCE was completely decomposed after 36 hours. In the culture system with p-cresol, decomposition of TCE remarkably progressed in the first 12 hours, and 10 ppm of TCE was completely decomposed after 18 hours. Quantitative analyses of p-cresol and m-cresol were done at this point in accordance with the JIS detection method using p-hydrazidebenzenesulfonic acid (JIS K 0102-1993, 28.2), and no cresol was detected.
