Review on gaseous chlorinated organic pollutants electron beam treatment

Literature on chlorinated organic compounds (Cl–HC) treatment in different conditions using EB-irradiation was reviewed and results of the studies are reported, and compared with own results. The differences in degradation efficiency of aliphatic and aromatic Cl–HC compounds were compared. The experiments and the calculations were performed for air, N2, He and H2 gas matrices and influence of different additives such as water vapour and NH3 on the process were studied. The general chemical mechanism of Cl–HC degradation in gas phase under EB-irradiation has been proposed.
