TI  - Rapid total destruction of chlorophenols by activated hydrogen peroxide.
PG  - 326-8
AB  - A practical, inexpensive, green chemical process for degrading environmental 
      pollutants is greatly needed, especially for persistent chlorinated pollutants. 
      Here we describe the activation of hydrogen peroxide by tetraamidomacrocylic 
      ligand (TAML) iron catalysts, to destroy the priority pollutants 
      pentachlorophenol (PCP) and 2,4,6-trichlorophenol (TCP). In water, in minutes, 
      under ambient conditions of temperature and pressure, PCP and TCP are completely 
      destroyed at catalyst:substrate ratios of 1:715 and 1:2000, respectively. The 
      fate of about 90% of the carbon and about 99% of the chlorine has been determined 
      in each case. Neither dioxins nor any other toxic compounds are detectable 
      products, and the catalysts themselves show low toxicity.
