Decomposition of halogenated and polyhalogenated organic materials by electrified microheterogeneous catalysis

摘要

In a system and method for enhancing dehalogenation and decomposition reactions, an organic reactant is brought in contact with a stable, non- soluble, porous, electronically non-conductive inorganic solid (reaction enhancer) in a fluidic medium to form a reaction mixture of low ionic strength. The reaction mixture so formed is then subjected to an electrifying force thereby enhancing the chemical reaction. Reaction products are then collected.
