This study investigated the destruction of chlorinated organic solvents in a molten carbonate reactor under various operating conditions. The destruction of the organics and the further oxidation of the destroyed products in a molten carbonate reactor are effective at the temperatures above 900°C. The addition of powdered ferric oxides could reduce the operating temperatures within a given oxidation efficiency. The retention of chlorines in the molten salt was not influenced by the tested operating temperatures of 750-950°C. Nearly all the acid from the destruction of the tested chlorinated solvent is collected in the tested molten salt oxidation system, indicating that no acid gas scrubbing system is necessary.
