METHOD OF DECOMPOSING WASTE SYNTHETIC POLYMER MATERIAL

摘要

Carbonaceous substances, esp. waste matl. of all types e.g. polluted potable water or water contg. silver or gold cyanides, are destroyed by (a) irradiating with light having a wavelength of 20-600 m mu, and (b) simultaneously subjecting to the action of water and excess oxygen. The mixt. to be treated contains catalytic amts. of a chlorine cpd. pref. hydrogen chloride, this cpd. being subsequently eliminated.
