Description:

Results of previous experiments investigating formation of polychlorinated dibenzo-p-dioxins/dibenzofurans (PCDD/PCDF) through low-temperature (300°C), fly-ash-catalyzed reactions are demonstrated to have occurred through intermediate formation of gas-phase Cl₂ by decomposition of the added catalyst, CuCl₂. The dependence of PCDD/PCDF formation rates on Cl₂ concentration is shown and the implications of the Deacon process on these rates discussed. A scheme for controlling the formation of PCDD/PCDF during incineration using sorbent materials to remove the source of Cl at high temperatures is proposed.
