Ai. Tsyganok et al., ELECTROCATALYTIC DEHALOGENATION OF CHLOROAROMATICS ON PALLADIUM-LOADED CARBON FELT CATHODE IN AQUEOUS-MEDIUM, Chemistry Letters, (4), 1998, pp. 303-304
The selective dechlorination of highly toxic chloroaromatic herbicides
based on phenoxyacetic acid was successfully achieved under mild expe
rimental conditions in aqueous medium by electrocatalytic reduction at
palladium-loaded carbon felts. Such cathode material is in principle
available for dechlorination of chloroaromatics having different molec
ular structure.
