β¦ Synopsis
X-ray photoelectron spectroscopy (XPS) was used to study the conversion of inorganic chlorine (chloride salts) to C-Cl bonds and subsequently chloro-organics on the surface of lignite by heat treatment at 300Β°C in humid air. It is shown that a naturally chloride-rich lignite can form chloro-organics by heat treatment without added catalysts. The XPS method was used to verify C-Cl bonds on the lignite surface as a necessary condition of chloro-organic formation according to the so-called de n000 synthesis. The chloro-organics were formed in a layer on the lignite surface with a chlorine content significantly higher than on the original surface. This implies that under the influence of air, chloride ions moved to the lignite surface, with subsequent oxidation and formation of C-Cl bonds on the surface, allowing subsequent release of toxic PCDDs and PCDFs.
