General description

2,4,6-Tribromophenol undergoes oxidative degradation catalyzed by SiO2-supported iron(III)-5,10,15,20-tetrakis(4-carboxyphenyl) porphyrin. It is degraded by Bacillus sp.GZT strain via reductive bromination as major degradation pathway. It is a widely used brominated flame retardant.

Application

2,4,6-Tribromophenol was used in analysis of nonylphenol, nonylphenol monoethoxylate and octylphenol in sediment, water and fish tissue.
