- Catalytic Dechlorination of Chloroorganic Compounds From PVC-Containing Mixed Plastic-Derived Oil
- The dechlorination of chloroorganic compounds from PVC-containing mixed plastic-derived oil was studied over iron oxide and iron oxide-carbon composite catalysts. The catalysts are characterized by nitrogen adsorption and X-ray diffraction. The catalysts are deactivated initially due to the adsorption of HCl gas that is produced during the reaction. Continuous adsorption...
