Electrochemical HydroDeHalogenation (HDH)
The product is often significantly less toxic than the halogenated starting material, and easier to remediate.
One of the key targets of the technology was the treatment of Poly Chlorinated Biphenyls or PCB's, for more information click here.
PCB's and many other halogenated organics have little or no solubility in water, whilst other target species (such as chlorinated phenols) are soluble. Hence we designed and fabricated a reactor which would allow the treatment of both aqueous and non-aqueous streams. The result was the zero gap, solid polymer electrolyte reactor, ZG-SPE:
