Abstract
Abstract Chlorinated benzenes and chlorinated phenols were produced in 400–600°C heterogeneous combustion reactions of trichloroethylene and flyash. A clear temperature trend showing increasing production to 600°C was observed. Model catalyst mixtures of SiO 2 metal oxides were compared with the flyash. Similarities in gas-phase chlorinated benzene products from all of the catalytic materials suggests that their formation is thermal rather than catalytic in nature, however, surface/adsorptive effects appear to play a role. Resemblance between chlorinated phenol products in Fa, CuO and Fe 2 O 3 reactions provides evidence that this formation mechanism is catalytically influenced.
