Removal of Trichlorobenzene from Flue Gas Using Complex Absorbent
Publication: Journal of Environmental Engineering
Volume 136, Issue 12
Abstract
The present study attempts to clean up 1,2,4-trichlorobenzene (TCB) vapor of the flue gas from the laboratory-scale bubbling reactor. Experiments were carried out to examine the effects of input TCB vapor concentration, pH of reaction medium, reaction temperature, and the other experimental conditions on TCB removal efficiency. The optimum experimental conditions for removing 1,2,4-TCB are that the ratio of in complex absorbent is 2, reaction temperature is , and pH of reaction medium is 8. TCB removal efficiency above 90% was achieved under the optimized conditions. The reaction products were determined by gas chromatograph/mass spectrometer, as such, the reaction route was revealed, 4-methyl-1-pentanol and succinic acid are considered to be the major intermediate products.
