This paper examined the potential of using Pd/Fe bimetallic nanoparticles to dechlorinate chlorinated methanes including dichloromethane (DCM), chloroform (CF) and carbon tetrachloride (CT). Pd/Fe bimetallic nanoparticles were prepared by chemical precipitation method in liquid phase and characterized in terms of specific surface area (BET), size (TEM), morphology (SEM), and structural feature (XRD). With diameters on the order of 30-50 nm, the Pd/Fe bimetallic nanoparticles presented obvious activity, and were suited to efficient catalytic dechlorination of chlorinated methanes. The effects of some important reaction parameters, such as Pd loading (weight ratio of Pd to Fe), Pd/Fe addition (Pd/Fe bimetallic nanoparticles to solution ratio) and initial pH value, on dechlorination efficiency were sequentially studied. It was found that the maximum clechlorination efficiency was obtained for 0.2 wt% Pd loading. The dechlorination efficiency was observed to increase with increasing Pd/Fe addition. The optimal pH value for dechlorination reaction of chlorinated methanes was about 7. Kinetics of chlorinated methane clechlorination in the catalytic reductive system of Pd/Fe bimetallic particles were investigated. The clechlorination reaction complied with pseudo-first-order kinetics. (C) 2008 Elsevier B.V. All rights reserved.
