4-Chloro-2-methoxyphenol

4-Chloro-2-methoxyphenol (4CMP) is a type of chemical compound that belongs to the aryl halide class. It is used in wastewater treatment as an inhibitor of bacterial growth. 4CMP inhibits bacterial growth by reacting with fatty acids at the surface of the bacteria, forming a coating that prevents bacterial attachment to solid surfaces and mineralization. This process has been shown to be effective in both batch and flow systems, with copper chloride being the best catalyst for this reaction. Kinetic studies have shown that 4CMP has an inhibitory effect on the reaction rate of activated sludge microorganisms, which can be used to optimize process conditions.
