PROCESS FOR THE DETOXIFICATION OF CHEMICAL WASTE MATERIALS

摘要

A process for the detoxification of chemical waste materials comprising toxic organic compounds in which the waste materials are subjected to electrolytical treatment by contacting them with one or more electrodes, which are part of an electric circuit, in the presence of a micelle-forming material, the anode being made of titanium or lead dioxide, the cathode being made of lead, or both being made of carbon fibers; the process being especially suitable for removing halogenated hydrocarbons from chemical waste materials.
