- Formation of polychlorinated naphthalenes on fly ash
-
During the oxidative degradation of carbonaceous material on fly ash, besides PCDD/F, PCPh, PCBz, PCB, polychlorinated naphthalenes (PCN or Cl(x)N) are formed. Thermal experiments were carried out with fly ash from a municipal waste incinerator at 300°C and reaction times of 0.5 h up to 4 h. For the study an analytical method using GC/MS was developed similar to that, used in dioxin-analysis. Isomer specific identification of chloronaphthalenes formed on fly ash was realized by comparison of Cl(x)N from technical PCN- mixtures (Halowax). For quantification of the PCN formed, 13C- labelled PCB-standards were used as internal standards because no 13C- labelled PCN- compounds were available. Both, technical PCN-mixtures and PCN formed on fly ash show a characteristic pattern of Cl(x)N-congeners according to their difference in formation. Cl2N - Cl3N were formed most and Cl1N - Cl3N were also found in the gas phase in high amounts. A single isomer 1,2,3,5,6,7-Cl6N, known as a strongly bioaccumulating and toxic PCN, is formed in higher amounts together with 1,2,3,4,6,7-Cl6N.

- Degradation of one-side fully-chlorinated 1,2,3,4-tetrachloronaphthalene over Fe-Al composite oxides and its hypothesized reaction mechanism
-
The degradation of 1,2,3,4-tetrachloronaphthalene (CN-27) featuring a one-side fully-chlorinated aromatic ring, was evaluated over three of the prepared rod-like Fe-Al composite oxides (FeAl-1, FeAl-5 and FeAl-10). The results showed that their reactive activities were in the order of FeAl-5 ≈ FeAl-10 ? FeAl-1, which could be attributed to their different pore structural properties and reactive sites caused by the different phase interaction between iron species and the γ-Al2O3. The generation of trichloronaphthalenes (1,2,3-TrCN and 1,2,4-TrCN, i.e. CN-13 and CN-14), dichloronaphthalenes (1,2-DiCN, 1,3-DiCN, 1,4-DiCN and 2,3-DiCN, i.e. CN-3, CN-4, CN-5 and CN-10) and monochloronaphthalenes (1-MoCN and 2-MoCN, i.e. CN-1 and CN-2) suggested the occurrence of successive hydrodechlorination reactions. The amount of CN-14 exceeded that of CN-13 from 71.5% to 77.7% across the three different systems, revealing the preferred occurrence of the first hydrodechlorination step at the β-position. This is dissimilar to the preference at the α-position observed during the dechlorination of octachloronaphthalene (CN-75) over micro/nano Fe3O4. The structural differences between one-side and two-side fully-chlorinated aromatic rings would have a pronounced impact on the reactivity of the chlorine substitution position. The major hydrodechlorination pathway was judged to be CN-27 → CN-14 → CN-4 → CN-2. Additionally, the detected 1,2,3,4,6-pentachloronaphthalene (CN-50) and 1,2,4,6/7-tetrachloronaphthalenes (CN-33/34) suggested the reverse chlorination reaction also happened while the hydrodechlorination reaction was occurring. The C-Cl bond dissociation energies (BDEs) of the parent and daughter polychlorinated naphthalene (PCN) congener were calculated using density functional theory (DFT), to achieve a deeper understanding of a different product yield distribution.

- Purification of N-methylpyrrolidone
-
Phenol is extracted with a chlorinated aromatic extractant, such as p-dichlorobenzene, from an aqueous mixture containing phenol and N-methylpyrrolidone. In an embodiment of this invention the purified N-methylpyrrolidone is recycled for use in a poly(phenylene sulfide) polymerization process.

- Generation of 2-Chloronaphthalene-1,3-diyl
-
Reaction of 1-bromo-3,4-benzo-6,6-dichlorobicyclohexane with potassium tert-butoxide in tetrahydrofuran yields 2-chloronaphthalene along with nine other naphthalenes which result from solvent incorporation or reaction with nucleophile (Br-, Cl-, t-BuO-).Use of tetrahydrofuran-d8 as the solvent leads to the incorporation of two deuterium atoms into the chloronaphthalene.This result is interpreted in terms of a 1,3-dehydronaphthalene opening to the diradical, followed by abstraction of deuterium atoms from the solvent.The products which result from incorporation of solvent would then arise by dimerization of radical pairs.The remaining products are thought to arise from nucleophilic addition to the closed form of the dehydronaphthalene.
