| Short description: |
The present work deals with the results of the basic and applied research of mechanisms of formation and detoxification of dioxins and chemically similar compounds (“dioxin-like compounds), especially PCDF, PCB, OCP and others. The problem has already been treated by the authors theoretically. This work is concerned with application consequences of the results of laboratory and pilot plant tests. The application of immediate concern is the recycling of ash and other materials contaminated by POPs. The results obtained for the dehalogenations and detoxifications under study show a great application potential for wide range of solid samples (wastes) that are otherwise disposed of by land-filling or other environmentally and/or economically problematic procedures. With the most materials studied their practically complete dehalogenation has been achieved (96-100%).
