Universidad de Zaragoza (orcid)0000-0002-2598-2405 Lindane removal by catalytic hydrodechlorination 2024 Access copy available to the general public Unrestricted Lindane is an organochlorine pesticide, that has caused contamination of soil, water and air. This paper studies catalytic hydrodechlorination as a possible solution to the lindane problem in water streams. Several catalysts were tested. The effects of mass transfer and temperature was studied for a Ni-based and a Pt-based catalysts. A Ni-supported and a Pt-supported catalyst gave good results, but the best catalyst was Pd supported on active carbon, which provided 99% conversion in a few minutes at room temperature. Additional tests allow to discard adsorption instead of a catalytic effect. The amount of hexachlorocyclohexane compounds remaining as adsorbed on the catalyst surface was negligible. info:eu-repo/grantAgreement/ES/DGA-FSE/T43-20R info:eu-repo/semantics/openAccess by https://creativecommons.org/licenses/by/4.0/deed.es 0.0 2024 CHEMISTRY, PHYSICAL info:eu-repo/semantics/article info:eu-repo/semantics/publishedVersion Lasobras, J.
