Abstract: | Five materials were used in gas-solid phase reactions between dibenzo-p- dioxin(DD) and HCl in order to determine the role of organic and inorganic components in fly ash on chlorine substitution reactions of chlorinated dioxins. The five solids were: granular activated carbon, silica gel, diatomaceous earth, Tenax-GC, and fly ash. Conditions for reactions were 10 min at 150°C with 5% HCl in air. Extent of chlorination was measured using GC/MS analyses of extracts of fly ash after treatment processes and was expressed as the ratio monochloroDD/original unreacted DD. These ratios were: fly ash, 1.082; silica gel, 0.059; activated carbon, 0.024; and Tenax-GC, 0.001. Measurement of similar behavior on diatomaceous earth was impossible since starting material and possible products were irreversibly adsorbed completely. The major chlorinated dioxin produced under these conditions was 2-chlorodibenzo-p- dioxin which is the isomer favored through an electrophilic substitution mechanism. |
