Abstract
Polyvinyl chloride (PVC) pellets were subjected to dechlorination in a batch reactor with, separately, water and aqueous solutions respectively of tetrahydrofuran, cyclohexanone and methanol. In the temperature range of 230-280°C, dechlorination rate constants were obtained under the assumption of first-order kinetics with respect to the chlorine content in the solid sample. The rate constant for dechlorination with water (1ml) + THE (1ml) was found to be nearly three times that with water, although they have almost the same activation energy, 205kJ/mol.
