Abstract
A process for the electrochemical dehalogenation of halogenated organic compounds is provided which comprises combining in an electrochemical cell (a) at least one halogenated organic compound or a material comprising one or more halogenated organic compounds; (b) at least one electrolyte-organic solvent in an amount effective to conduct electric current and which is a solvent for the halogenated organic compound; (c) at least one sufficiently soluble electroconductive salt in an amount of from about 0.0005 to about 0.02 M; and (d) at least one sufficiently soluble electron transfer compounds wherein the electron transfer compound to salt ratio is from 0.1:1 to 20.1 weight percent; and then applying a voltage to the resulting mixture effective to remove any amount of halogen from said halogenated organic compound.
