AB  - Brominated organic pollutants are considered of great concern for their adverse 
      effect on human health and the environment, so an increasing number of such 
      compounds are being classified as persistent organic pollutants (POPs). 
      Mechanochemical destruction is a promising technology for POPs safe disposal 
      because it can achieve their complete carbonization by solvent-free high energy 
      ball milling at room temperature. However, a large amount of co-milling reagent 
      usually is necessary, so a considerable volume of residue is produced. In the 
      present study a different approach to POPs mechanochemical destruction is 
      proposed. Employing stoichiometric quantities of Bi2O3 or La2O3 as co-milling 
      reagent, brominated POPs are selectively and completely converted into their 
      corresponding oxybromides (i.e. BiOBr and LaOBr), which possess very peculiar 
      properties and can be used for some actual and many more potential applications. 
      In this way, bromine is beneficially reused in the final product, while POPs 
      carbon skeleton is safely destroyed to amorphous carbon. Moreover, 
      mechanochemical destruction is employed in a greener and more sustainable manner.
