Subject RIV: CC - Organic Chemistry

Volatile organic compounds (VOCs) are commonly present in the atmosphere at ground level in all urban and industrial areas. Chlorinated VOCs are widely used in industry as solvents, dry cleaning agents, degreasing agents, and intermediates in the production of plastics, synthetic resins and pharmaceuticals. Numerous CVOCs are directly harmful to health and the environment as carcinogens, mutagens and toxins. The main objective of this study was to increase knowledge of the key properties of the catalysts to be developed and the reaction conditions to be utilised in the catalytic abatement unit in the oxidation of emission streams containing CVOCs, especially dichloromethane (DCM) and perchlorothylene (PCE).
