Abstract: | An efficient catalytic detoxification method for polychlorinated dibenzo-p-dioxins and polychlorinated dibenzofurans (PCDD/Fs) in fly ash produced by municipal waste incinerator has been studied using palladium on carbon (Pd/C) catalyst. As one of the trace components in fly ash, the detoxification of PCDD/Fs is very difficult because of the interferences of other persistent components with higher concentrations. However, the detoxification reaction of PCDD/Fs shows higher activity in water/isopropanol solution using commercial Pd/C catalyst at 40 degrees C under normal pressure. The results indicated that the catalytic degradation of PCDFs has been found to be easier than that of PCDDs. Moreover, the dechlorination ratios were higher for octa- and hepta-chlorinated congeners than those for tetra- and penta-chlorinated ones. The detoxification process worked well in water. The dechlorination efficiencies of almost all of the PCDD/Fs congeners can reach over 99% within a shorter reaction time. |
