Synthesis Pathway of Dioxins in Iron Ore Sintering Process

Dioxins are a kind of extremely toxic and Persistent Organic Pollutants (POPs). Sintering process has become one of the most dominant unintentional discharge sources. The dioxins synthesis pathway and mechanism being described, related research indicate that: in the low temperature sector (200-500 degrees C), chlorobenzene and chlorphenol are the representation precursors of dioxin's precursor catalytic reaction, the dioxins formed in this temperature sector cased by the "de novo" under catalyst (like Cu2+) on the surface of smoke particles; high-temperature gas phase reaction mechanism of dioxins satisfied the first-order kinetic model, the formation of gas related with suitable precursors, it is the result of chlorinated precursors' pyrolytic rearrangement like chlorobenzene and chlorophenol in the temperature sector 500-800 degrees C in the gas.
