Abstract

The radicals and high temperatures generated by the Oxyhydrogen flame induce new reactions. This paper reports on the treatment of saturated chloride solutions with Oxyhydrogen flame. The results show that the oxyhydrogen flame can promote the hydrolysis definitely, including strong acid and strong alkali salts like NaCl and KCl. The extent and product of the hydrolysis depends on the Lewis acidity and hardness of the metal ions in the chlorides. The higher is the Lewis acidity of metal ions, and the higher is the extent of hydrolysis, thus the efficiency of oxyhydrogen flame (EH) of AlCl3 is the highest, up to 2.95%, as Al3+ is the strongest Lewis acid. Soft metals tend to produce basic chloride, and the harder ones prefer the oxides, carbonates or hydroxides. Through the exploration of this paper the authors believe that the hydroxide flame can be a universal method for treating any kind of chemical waste.
