Hydrodechlorination of Trichloroethylene to Hydrocarbons Using Bimetallic Nickel−Iron Nanoparticles
Abstract
High surface-area nickel−iron nanoparticles (1:3 Ni:Fe) have been studied as a reagent for the dehalogenation of trichloroethylene (TCE). Ni−Fe (0.1 g) nanoparticles reduced TCE from a 40-mL saturated aqueous solution (24 ppm) to <6 ppb in 120 min. The dehalogenation reaction, based on the surface area normalized rate constant, was 50−80 times slower using nanoiron or iron filings, respectively. On the bimetallic particles, the reaction occurs by nickel-catalyzed hydrodechlorination. As the iron actively corrodes, the cathodically protected nickel surface chemisorbs hydrogen ions. TCE adsorbed to the Ni surface is thus hydrogenated. This reaction competes kinetically with the evolution of molecular hydrogen. Hydrogenation of the C−Cl bond results in the formation of linear as well as branched saturated and unsaturated hydrocarbons. The final TCE degradation products are predominantly even-numbered saturated hydrocarbons, such as butane, hexane, and octane. The toxic dehalogenation products vinyl chloride (VC), 1,1-dichloroethylene (1,1-DCE), cis -dichloroethylene ( cis -DCE), and trans -dichloroethylene ( trans -DCE) form only in trace amounts and do not persist. A kinetic solvent isotope effect of k H 2 O/D 2 O = 14 was observed, which indicates that C−H bond formation is rate-determining. This explains why VC and DCE, which are formed at zerovalent iron surfaces by a reaction in which electron transfer is the rate-determining step, do not accumulate. The fast reaction rate and the absence of toxic side products suggest that bimetallic nanoparticles containing good catalysts for hydrogenation (e.g., Ni, Pd, Pt) should be improved materials for the in situ or ex situ dehalogenation of chlorinated organics.

About these checks
Registry, retraction, Cites and statistics results are computed, not judged, with one exception: a printed reference that no index lists is read once by a model before it counts as a citation error. Claims are extracted by a model and kept only when their quote appears verbatim in the text; each cited source is then checked, with a model’s help, for whether it says what the claim relies on. Those verdicts can be wrong — read the claim’s quote and the cited source before relying on one.
Statistics and arithmetic are recomputed, not judged.
Confidence bands are shown only for fields calibrated on our annotated test set. None is calibrated yet, so no band is shown.
