Transformation of Carbon Tetrachloride in the Presence of Sulfide, Biotite, andVermiculite

摘要

Carbon tetrachloride is transformed in aqueous solutions containing dissolvedhydrogen sulfide more rapidly in the presence of the minerals biotite and vermiculite than in homogeneous systems. Approximately 80-85% of the CCl4 was transformed to CO2 via the measured intermediate, CS2. Chloroform comprised 5-15% of the products. The remaining 5% of the products were an unidentified non-volatile compound and CO. At 25C, the half-life of CCl4 with 1 mM HS was calculated to be 2600, 160, and 50 days for the homogeneous, vermiculite (114 sq m/L), and biotite (55.8 sq m/L) systems, respectively. The CCl4 transformation rate was found to be dependent on the type and quantity of the solid and the temperature, but was independent of pH and HS(-) concentration above a critical
