Process for the fast chemical decomposition of halogenated and polyhalogenated organic compounds, such as polychlorobiphenyls, polychlorodibenzofurans and polychlorodibenzodioxins, and for the decontamination of surfaces or fluids.

摘要

Polyhalogenated organic compounds such as PCB, TCDD, PCDD, PCDF, etc. are rapidly dehalogenated and detoxified under the action of UV radiation and a reagent consisting of a) a polyoxygenated compound, such as polyethyleneglycols, polyhydroxy compounds and products of condensation of ethylene oxide and propylene oxide and b) a base and optionally, c) an oxidizing agent or a source of free radicals.
