More than 900 people attended the 19th International Symposium on Medicinal Chemistry in Istanbul from August 29 to September 2, 2006, hosted by the European Federation for Medicinal Chemistry (EFMC) and the Turkish Association of Pharmace...

1983 International Symposium On Wood and Pulping Chemistry PYROLYSIS AND COMBUSION BEHAVIOR OF CHLORINATED ORGANICS IN BLEACH PLANT EFFLUENT

Pyrolysis of chlorinated phenolics and thiolignin was investigated to elucidate the principle step occurring during combustion of organic material in bleach plant effluent. Chlorinated phenolics found in bleach plant effluent. such as chlorophenols, chloroguaiacols, chlorovanillins and chlorosyringaldehydes, were completely decomposed at 700 to 900°C with alkali and oxygen. Organically bound ch...
