The formation pathways for chlorinated aliphatic and chlorinated aromatic compounds in technical incineration processes are reviewed. It is shown that acetylene is converted to chloroaromatic compounds including PCDD/F in a special flow reactor by catalytic activity of CuCl2 in the temperature regime of a post-combustion zone of technical incinerators. Mechanistic pathways begin with chlorination of acetylene. Dichloroacetylene is further condensed to C-4 and C-6 units. Hexachlorobenzene is the dominant aromatic compound and a likely precursor to chlorinated phenols and PCDD/F. Two specific mechanisms of formation of chlorinated aromatic compounds including PCDD/F have been advanced. Both mechanisms begin with the formation of dichloroacetylene from flame pyrolysis products like acetylene. Condensation of dichloroacetylene is mediated by copper species via metallacyclic intermediates and/or a catalytic cycle involving copper stabilized trichlorovinyl radicals. The final pathways of conversion of chlorinated benzenes to PCDD/F via chlorophenols are under active investigation.
