Conversion Pathways of DDT and Its Derivatives during Catalytic Hydrodechlorination

چکیده
Di-1,1-chlorophenyl-2,2,2-trichloroethane (DDT) and its derivatives di-1,1-chlorophenyl-2,2dichloroethane (DDD), di-1,1-chlorophenyl-2,2-dichloroethene (DDE), and di-1,1-chlorophenyl-2-chloroethene (DDMU) were dechlorinated in heptane solution over a sulphide Ni-Mo/C catalyst in a batch reactor. The process was carried out at 150-260oC and hydrogen pressure of 3 MPa. For DDT, fast elimination of chlorine was observed from the aliphatic position, yielding mainly DDD at 150oC. At around 200oC, the aromatic chlorine atoms started to be removed. The complete dechlorination of the DDT derivatives was observed at 260oC, yielding predominantly 1,1-diphenylethane (DPE) and 1,2-diphenylethane (BB). The conversion of DDT to BB was found to proceed via DDD. BB was presumably formed via carbenoid rearrangement of geminal dichlorides. Small amounts of diphenylmethane (DPM) were also found in the final product. Based on the GCMS and GC-FID analyses of reaction products, the pathways of DDT derivative degradations during hydrodechlorination (HDCl) were proposed.

Electrogeneration of H(2) for Pd-catalytic hydrodechlorination of 2,4-dichlorophenol in groundwater.
A novel electrolytic groundwater remediation process, which used the H(2) continuously generated at cathode to achieve in situ catalytic hydrodechlorination, was developed for the treatment of 2,4-dichlorophenol (2,4-DCP) in groundwater. Catalytic hydrodechlorination using Pd supported on bamboo charcoal and external H(2) showed that 2,4-DCP was completely dechlorinated to phenol within 30 min ...
