ABSTRACT:
Method for the total dehydrohalogenation of halogenated compounds. The method includes providing a reaction mixture by dissolving an alkali metal hydroxide in a molar excess of an ethylene glycol to form an alkali metal glycolate and reacting the halogenated organic compound with the alkali metal glycolate. In halogenated compounds having one carbon, carbon dioxide is the reaction product. In those having more than one carbon, acetylene is formed. The preferred ethylene glycol is tetraethylene glycol and the preferred alkali metal is potassium hydroxide. The method is particularly useful for disposing of toxic halogenated compounds which make up soil contaminants, like ethylene dibromide.
