Zusammenfassung

Polychlorierte Dibenzodioxine (PCDD) und polychlorierte Dibenzofurane (PCDF) werden durch Pyrolyse von Chlorphenolen und Chlorphenolaten gebildet, wobei unter bestimmten Bedingungen das PCDD-Muster vollständig von der Chlorsubstitution der Ausgangsmoleküle bestimmt wird. Die Pyrolyse von Chlorphenolen bei höheren Temperaturen führt jedoch zu komplexen PCDD/ PCDF-Gemischen. Fast alle Tribis Heptachlordibenzodioxine und -dibenzofurane können gleichzeitig aus einer Mischung von nur zwei Trichlorphenolen hervorgehen. In diesem Fall wird das Substitutionsmuster der Produkte nicht mehr von dem der eingesetzten Chlorphenole beeinflußt.

Summary

Polychlorinated dibenzodioxins (PCDD) and polychlorinated dibenzofurans (PCDF) are formed by pyrolysis of chlorophenols and chlorophenates. Under certain conditions the PCDD pattern is completely governed by the chlorine substitution of the starting molecules. Pyrolyses of chlorophenols at elevated temperatures, however, lead to complex PCDD/PCDF mixtures. Nearly all trito heptachlorodibenzodioxin and -dibenzofuran congeners can arise simultaneously from a mixture of only two trichlorophenols. In this case the substitution pattern of the products is no longer influenced by that of the chlorophenols used.
