TOTAL HYDRODECHLORINATION OF INDUSTRIAL TRANSFORMER OIL ON METAL-SUPPORTED CATALYSTS

The hydrodechlorination (HDC) of transformer oil, which consists of a mixture of chlorinated benzene compounds (ClBzs) and polychlorinated biphenyls (PCBs), was carried out in liquid phase by using Pd/C, Ru/C, Rh/C, and Pd/Al 2 O 3 catalysts under mild reaction conditions: 25°C and hydrogen pressure...

Description
Summary:	The hydrodechlorination (HDC) of transformer oil, which consists of a mixture of chlorinated benzene compounds (ClBzs) and polychlorinated biphenyls (PCBs), was carried out in liquid phase by using Pd/C, Ru/C, Rh/C, and Pd/Al 2 O 3 catalysts under mild reaction conditions: 25°C and hydrogen pressure of 2 bar. On the Pd/Al 2 O 3 catalysts, the total hydrodechlorination of the ClBzs and PCBs was reached after 50 h of reaction. Benzene and biphenyl aromatic compounds as well as total and partially hydrogenated products such as cyclohexane, bicyclohexane, and cyclohexylbenzene were obtained.
