Microwave-assisted dechlorination of chlorobenzene and the three dichlorobenzenes takes place in the presence of the hypophosphite (NaH(2)PO(2)) reductant and Pd-loaded activated carbon (Pd/C) in alkaline media at relatively low temperatures. The extent of loss/dechlorination at 90 degrees C followed the order: o-DCB approximately m-DCB>CB>p-DCB. Detected final products were mostly benzene and phenol. Dechlorination of pentachlorobenzene (PeCB) through reduction was slight even when both NaH(2)PO(2) and Pd/C were simultaneously employed in the absence of NaOH, nor when NaH(2)PO(2) alone was present in excess. The generated HCl proved to be an inhibitor, thus the need for the presence of NaOH to enhance dechlorination. Conventional heating of the reacting mixture above 90 degrees C to a reaction temperature of 180 degrees C led to no further dechlorination of the PeCB. Intermediate products of dechlorination of PeCP were the tetrachlorobenzenes with final products being benzene and phenol (GC-FID spectral analyses). Both salicylic acid (a constituent of humic acid) and l(+)-ascorbic acid used as possible promoters proved to be rather ineffective. The simultaneous presence of NaH(2)PO(2), Pd-loaded activated carbon and NaOH was crucial in the dechlorination of PeCB by microwave dielectric heating with maximal reduction of PeCB being ca. 75% under these conditions.
