W. Buijs, CATALYTIC REDUCTION OF POLYHALOGENATED AROMATIC-HYDROCARBONS BY CU(I)UNDER DOW-PHENOL CONDITIONS, Catalysis today, 27(1-2), 1996, pp. 159-166
Poly chlorinated and brominated aromatic hydrocarbons and ethers are c
atalytically reduced by Cu(I)benzoate under Dow-Phenol conditions in t
he absence of air. This homogeneous catalytic reaction is very robust
and can be transformed into a promising future environmental technolog
y for some specific halogenated waste streams.
