DOI: 10.1016/j.chemosphere.2019.125531
Abstract: Wastes containing short-chain chlorinated paraffins (SCCPs) at concentrations above the Basel Convention low persistent organic pollutant content (LPC) values must be destroyed or irreversibly transformed in an environmentally-sound manner. Here, we developed a novel liquid… read more here.

DOI: 10.1016/j.chemosphere.2021.131348
Abstract: Pyrolysis can not only effectively dispose of plastic wastes but also reclaim valuable chemicals and biochar. However, the production and release of second pollutants, particularly chlorine-containing products, have been neglected. The mechanism for the transformation… read more here.
