Ferrocene solubilized with poly(vinylpyrrolidone) in aqueous KCl solution exhibited a well-defined voltammetric peak at 1.33 V vs. Ag|AgCl at a platinum electrode. The wave was attributed to the oxidation of chloride to chlorine, demonstrated by smell of chlorine, by a view of formation of gas bubbles, by coloration through the reaction with diethyl-p-phenylene diamine, and by the increase in t...

Sequential helminth egg inactivation using a solar driven advanced oxidation process (AOP) followed by chlorine was achieved. The photo-assisted Fenton process was tested alone under different H(2)O(2) and/or Fe(II) concentrations to assess its ability to inactivate Ascaris suum eggs. The effect of free chlorine alone was also tested. The lowest egg inactivation results were found using Fe(II) ...

To remove chlorine from chlorinated wastes efficiently, the hydrothermal treatment (HT) of PVC was investigated with a lower alkaline dosage in this work. Some typical operating conditions were investigated to find out the most important factor affecting the dechlorination efficiency (DE). The FTIR technique was employed to detect the functional groups in PVC and hydrochars generated to reveal ...

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...

We report a chlorine-substituted polythiophene-based, dioxobenzodithiophene-containing conjugated polymer (P2T-Cl) as promising dopant-free hole transport material in lead halide perovskite solar cells.
