Abstract

An efficient method for the dechlorination of p-nitrochlorobenzene on fly ash was developed. Reaction conditions were optimized and higher dechlorination (75%) was achieved at 60 °C in water/isopropanol mixture. Metal contents of fly ash played a vital role in enhancing dechlorination. Moreover, the fly ash particles provided the surface to accomplish reduction and substitution reactions.
