Chloroaromatic hydrocarbons

In general chloroaromatic hydrocarbons decompose faster than the more hydrophilic compounds such as phenols. The destruction of these two kinds of pollutants occurs at different sites in or around the cavitation bubble and follows different pathways. The difference becomes even more pronounced when more volatile contaminants are used. 

Ferrioxalate technology has been used for the treatment of aromatic and chloroaromatic hydrocarbons, chlorinated ethylenes, ethers, alcohols, ketones and other compounds. Figure 6 compares the destruction of 2-butanone by three different AOTs, and shows the high efficiency of ferrioxalate. Figure 7 compares solar photo-Fenton and solar FeOx for toluene treatment.

The growth of industrialization and the use of chemical confounds have resulted in serious environmental poUutioiL Various organic contaminants, including aromatic hydrocarbons, nitroaromatic compounds and chloroaromatics persist in the environment. It is technically difficult to decontaminate these chemicals and traditional physiochemical treatments are e ensive.
