B. Calaminus et al., EXPERIMENTAL-STUDY OF THE QUANTITATIVE CONVERSION OF HEXACHLOROBENZENE DURING HIGH-TEMPERATURE PYROLYSIS, Journal of analytical and applied pyrolysis, 27(2), 1993, pp. 281-292
High temperature (1000 and 1100 degrees C), inert atmosphere pyrolysis
of hexachlorobenzene with a residence time of 20s is described. Under
these conditions, pyrolysis of hexachlorobenzene leads to the formati
on of soot, elemental chlorine Cl-2 polychlorinated aromatic compounds
, with hexachlorobenzene conversion approaching 70% at 1100 degrees C.
The emphasis is on the qualitative analysis of the soot by means of C
-13 NMR spectroscopy, electron spectroscopy for chemical analysis and
electron microscopy. The soot appears to be carbon black containing gr
aphitic structures.
