A comprehensive review of the process on hexachlorobenzene degradation

Abstract

This paper describes the chemical, physical property of the pollution source along with its perniciousness. In addition, with the recent treatment or degradation of the hexachlorobenzene (HCB), it talks about the research developments on the HCB. Of the many options available for treatment of municipal and industrial HCB pollution, the anaerobic biological treatment process is unique because of its potential for producing usable energy. It focuses on the biodegradation pathway which is intent to finish the steps of dechlorination. Moreover, the future study on the HCB degradation is prospected in this paper from the author’s angle.
