Journal: Environmental Science and Technology Authors: Song H.; Carraway E.R. Abstract: Nanosized iron (<100 nm in diameter) was synthesized in the laboratory and applied to the reduction of eight chlorinated ethanes (hexachloroethane (HCA), pentachloroethane (PCA), 1,1,2,2-tetrachloroethane (1,1,2,2-TeCA), 1,1,1,2-tetrachloroethane (1,1,1,2-TeCA), 1,1,2-trichloroethane (1,1,2-TCA), 1,1,1-trichloroethane (1,1,1-TCA), 1,2-dichloroethane (1,2-DCA), and 1,1-dichloroethane (1,1-DCA)) in batch reactors. Reduction of 1,1,1-TCA increased linearly with increasing iron loading between 0.01 and 0.05 g per 124 mL solution (0.08-0.4 g/L). Varying initial concentrations of PCA between 0.025 and 0.125 mM resulted in relatively constant pseudo-first-order rate constants, indicating PCA removal conforms to pseudo-first-order kinetics. The reduction of 1,1,2,2-TeCA decreased with increasing pH; however, dehydrohalogenation of 1,1,2,2-TeCA became important at high pH. All chlorinated ethanes except 1,2-DCA were transformed to less chlorinated ethanes or ethenes. The surface-area-normalized rate constants from first-order kinetics analysis ranged from <4 × 10-6 to 0.80 L m-2 h-1. In general, the reactivity increased with increasing chlorination. Among tri- and tetrasubstituted compounds, the reactivity was higher for compounds with chlorine atoms more localized on a single carbon (e.g., 1,1,1-TCA > 1,1,2-TCA). Reductive β-elimination was the major pathway for the chlorinated ethanes possessing α,β-pairs of chlorine atoms to form chlorinated ethenes, which subsequently reacted with nanosized iron. Reductive α-elimination and hydrogenolysis were concurrent pathways for compounds possessing chlorine substitution on one carbon only, forming less chlorinated ethanes. © 2005 American Chemical Society.
