Abstract

Incineration is considered one of the most effective processes for destruction of toxic or hazardous chlorocarbon chemical wastes. One objection to incineration, however, is the possible formation of harmful species through incomplete combustion, with subsequent effluent to the atmosphere either as vapors or on particulate. In this study reactions of methane with methylene chloride and with a mixture of methylene chloride/trichloroethylene are monitored in flow reactors of varied surface to volume ratios, atmospheric pressure; and temperature range of 750-1000°C. Acetylene, ethylene, benzene, chloromethane, and HCl were observed as the major products. A detailed chemical reaction mechanism was developed based upon fundamental thermochemical kinetic principals to describe and model the reaction system.
