Deep oxidation and/or hydrolysis of halogenated organics with porous carbonaceous materials.

摘要

A method is provided for oxidising and/or hydrolysing halogenated organic compounds comprising contacting a mixture of the halogenated organic compound, excess oxygen, and-, optionally, water, with a carbonaceous catalyst under mild reaction conditions. The temperature of the reaction is typically below 400 DEG C and the catalyst may be doped with acidic redox-active metal compounds.
