The dechlorination of 4-CP was investigated by using various catalysts such as bimetallic (Fe-0/Cu-0, Al-0/Fe-0), Pd/C, Raney Ni and Fe-0 at room temperature. Among the catalysts studied, Raney Ni proved to be very economical and efficient catalyst that worked without the use of an external reducing agent. The dechlorination of 4-CP by Raney Ni was therefore further explored. Complete dechlorination of 4-CP (30 mg L-1) was achieved in 6 hat an optimum Raney Ni catalyst loading of 3 g L-1. The effect of triethylamine (TEA) and tripropylamine (TPA) was also investigated and it was observed that 100% dechlorination is possible in presence of 45 mg L-1 of TEA. The kinetics of dechlorination of 4-CP was investigated and found to be first order with a rate constant of 0.017 min(-1) at 50 degrees C, and it enhances to 0.109 min(-1) with addition of TEA. In the absence of a reducing agent, acidic to neutral pH favors dechlorination of 4-CP. The final product of dechlorination was estimated to be phenol by performing HPLC, LCMS and NMR analysis. Based on the results, a probable dechlorination mechanism of 4-CP is also proposed. It can be concluded that the catalytic hydrodechlorination is an effective and economical technique for dechlorination of 4-CP and it has a potential for the dechlorination of other toxic derivatives of chlorinated aromatics.

W-doped TiO2 nanoparticles (NPs) were synthesized in ionic liquid, ethyl methyl imidazolium dicyanamide (EMIM-DCA) by a solvothermal method. The developed NPs were sintered at 500 degrees C and characterized by UV-Vis-DRS, FT-IR, FE-SEM, XRD, XPS, and BET techniques. The 30-40-nm-sized NPs were subjected to photocatalytic degradation of the toxic energetic compound, tetryl (2,4,6-trinitrophenylmethylnitramine) under UV-Vis light. Various operating parameters such as the effect of concentration of catalyst, pH of feed phase, oxidizing agents, and recycling of catalyst were studied in detail. For the first time, the degradation-mechanism pathway and kinetics of tetryl were evaluated. The degradation products were precisely analyzed by using HPLC, GC-MS, and TOC techniques. The USEPA has prescribed a drinking water limit of 0.02 mg L-1, and it was found that 0.5 g of 4% W-TiO2 could totally degrade tetryl (50 mg L-1) within 8 h. The kinetic rate constant of 4% W-TiO2 was 0.356 h(-1), whereas pure TiO2 showed 0.207 h(-1).&lt;/p&gt;
