Dechlorination of Chlorinated Hydrocarbons in a Monopolar Packed Bed Electrochemical Reactor

Year: 1999

Type: article

Abstract: A monopolar packed bed electrochemical reactor was presented in which performance indicators were measured with pentachlorophenol (PCP) model compound. Dechlorination of PCP in this reactor showed similar results to those achieved by Schmal and coworkers in a multifibre cell. Dechlorination of an aliphatic model compound, chinester (CHE) (ethyl-[d,1-cis,trans-2,2-dimethyl-3-|2,2´dichlorvinyl|]-1-cyclopropane carboxylate) showed 80% dechlorination of CHE with 43% current efficiency at 0.6 A/dm2 current density and 20 L/h flow rate.
