New Environmentally Safe and Efficient Way for Destruction of Toxic Chemicals

  • Conference paper
The Role of Ecological Chemistry in Pollution Research and Sustainable Development

Abstract

Reductive hydrodechlorination was used as a base reaction for the destruction of toxic chlorinated compounds including chlorobenzenes and poly-chlorinated biphenyls. Very effective catalytic systems for this process have been developed. They include new Pd and Ni containing catalysts supported on carbon and oxide supports prepared by unusual method of laser electrodispersion. Metal content in these catalysts is extremely low, but activity of each metal atom is extremely high due to inter-cluster interaction in comparison with the catalysts prepared by impregnation or deposition-precipitation. The effect of inter-cluster interaction is discussed. Another prospective system includes metals supported on ultradispersed diamond. Scheme of the process of multi-phase hydrodechlorina-tion of high-boiling wastes is presented. New approaches could be valuable for the development of prospective catalytic systems for different catalytic processes.
