title: Reactions of 2,4,6-trichlorophenol on model fly ash: oxidation to CO and CO2, condensation to PCDD/F and conversion into related compounds.
abstract: Thermal treatment of 2,4,6-trichlorophenol on a magnesium silicate-based model fly ash in the temperature range between 250 degrees C and 400 degrees C leads predominantly to carbon monoxide and carbon dioxide. The fraction of 2,4,6-trichlorophenol which is oxidized to CO and CO2 increases from 3% at 250 degrees C to 75% at 400 degrees C. Further products are polychlorinated benzenes, dibenzo-p-dioxins, dibenzofurans and phenols. The homologue and isomer patterns of the chlorobenzenes suggest chlorination in the ipso-position of the trichlorophenol. The formation of PCDD from 2,4,6-trichlorophenol and 2,3,4,6-tetrachlorophenol on municipal solid waste incinerator fly ashes and model fly ash were compared and the reaction order calculated.
