08 Steam raising (boiler operation~design) 02/02101 Removal of organic chlorine compounds by catalytic dehydrochlorination for the refinement of municipal waste plastic derived oil Lingaiah, N. et al. Fuel, 2001, 80, (13), 1901-1905. Municipal waste plastic derived oil was prepared by thermal degradation of municipal waste plastics at 410°C. During the degradation of these waste plastics containing polyvinyl chloride, organic chlorine compounds were produced in the oil. The chloro-organic compounds were dehydrochlorinated by using various catalysts such as iron oxide, iron oxide-carbon composite, ZnO, MgO and Redmud. The catalysts were characterized by N2 adsorption and X-ray diffraction. The iron oxide catalysts were effective in removing the chloro-organic compounds. MgO and ZnO catalysts were deactivated during the reaction by HCI, which is produced by the dehydrochlorination of chloroorganic compounds. Iron oxide and its carbon composite were found to be stable in the dehydrochlorination of municipal waste plastic derived oil.
