Description

4-Chlorobenzoic acid is a dehalogenase that removes chlorinated organic compounds from water. It has been shown to be effective in removing the following: trichloroethene, tetrachloroethene, and dichloroethene. 4-Chlorobenzoic acid is a member of the group P2 dehalogenases and has been shown to have an affinity for aromatic substrates like benzoate. This enzyme is an integral part of wastewater treatment systems as it prevents the accumulation of toxic chlorine-containing chemicals in soil and groundwater.

4-Chlorobenzoic acid also has the ability to remove 2,3,7,8-tetrachlorodibenzodioxin (TCDD) from water after its formation in air pollution incidents by binding to the TCDD molecule with high affinity. The removal of this toxin prevents it from accumulating in soil and groundwater.
