Removal of trichloroethylene from water in the catalytic membrane reactor

• Catalytic membrane reactor based on Pd-loaded polypropylene porous hollow fibers.
• Single-stage removal of TCE from water by hydrodechlorination in CMR.
• Degree of water purification is not less than 98%.
• Hydrogen chloride does not impair Pd catalyst activity.

This work describes a single-stage method for the removal of chlorine-containing species from water using a catalytic membrane reactor based on Pd-loaded porous polypropylene hollow fiber membranes. The kinetics of this process is characterized. The degree of water purification is shown to be not less than 98%.
