Ra. Larson et al., EFFECTS OF ADDITIVES ON THE FORMATION OF ORGANOCHLORINE COMPOUNDS DURING THE COMBUSTION OF PAPER-FERRIC CHLORIDE MIXTURES, Science of the total environment, 143(2-3), 1994, pp. 261-268
In the presence of FeCl3, organochlorine compounds were produced durin
g paper combustion, including chlorinated alkenes, benzenes and phenol
s. When potassium carbonate was added to the paper/FeCl3 mixture, the
yield of chlorinated products decreased but their molecular size incre
ased.
