Contents Notes
Dehydrohalogenation shows potential as a means for converting certain halogenated organics in wastes to inorganic salts and gaseous aliphatic compounds. Dehydrohalogenation is a dehalogenation/elimination reaction that is initiated by a strong base. The resulting products are the halide salt, water, and an elimination compound. A novel reagent, sodium or potassium hydroxide mixed with a polyethylene glycol, is a very effective dehydrohalogenation agent. This reagent is shown to de halogenate six organic compounds that are representative of low molecular weight compounds encountered in hazardous wastes: CClb4s, CHClb3s, CHb2sClb2s, Cb2sHb4sBrb2s, and CClb3sNOb2s.Kinetics data for the reactions of this reagent with the six compounds is given to allow reaction design and calculation of destruction efficiency.
