Biosorption of p-chloro meta xylenol (PCMX) by bacterium-encapsulated calcium alginate beads in a novel plug flow process.

P-Chloro-Meta-Xylenol (PCMX) is a widely used disinfectant. In the current pandemic scenario, its consumption has increased largely, and as a result, wastewater is loaded heavily with PCMX as a contaminant. Remediation of this ecologically toxic phenolic compound is therefore a burning issue.

Interference-free electrocatalysis of p-chloro meta xylenol (PCMX) on uniquely designed optimized polymeric nanohybrid of P(EDOT-co-OPD) and fMWCNT modified glassy carbon electrode.

p-Chloro-meta-Xylenol (PCMX) is an environmentally hazardous phenolic compound having biocidal and antiseptic activity. Very few research publications addressed monitoring this contaminant. This paper presents a rapid sensing system to quantify it in waste water samples.
