PG - 20072-20081 LID - 10.1007/s11356-017-9574-4 [doi] AB - The destruction of persistent organic pollutants (POPs) is a large challenge in particular in developing and emerging economies. To date, a detailed assessment of non-combustion technologies with respect to formation of dioxins is lacking. In this study, an assessment of mechanochemical (MC) destruction technology for polychlorinated biphenyls (PCBs) and polybrominated diphenyl ethers (PBDEs) in contaminated soil remediation was conducted. Actual applied conditions of pilot-scale MC POPs destruction process indicates that the temperature increase inside the ball mills has the potential to form high levels of toxic polybrominated and polychlorinated dibenzo-p-dioxins and dibenzofurans (PXDD/Fs) when dioxin precursors are present. Therefore, the MC technology was modified for treatment of the PCB and PBDE containing soil including an efficient cooling system which could prevent the formation of PXDD/F during the destruction of PCBs and PBDEs. This is likely relevant for all contaminated soils containing relevant dioxin precursor and need to be considered for treatment of soils with MC and probably other non-combustion technologies.
