Usage

Description

2,6-Dichlorodibenzofuran is a chemical compound that belongs to the family of dibenzofurans. It is characterized by the presence of two chlorine atoms attached to the benzene rings, which confer unique chemical and physical properties to the molecule.

Uses

Used in Environmental Testing and Research:
2,6-Dichlorodibenzofuran is used as a standard in environmental testing and research applications. It serves as a reference compound for the study of the thermal decomposition of endosulfan and the resulting formation of polychlorinated dibenzo-p-dioxins (PCDDs) and polychlorinated dibenzofurans (PCDFs), which are environmental toxins. This helps in understanding the environmental impact and potential risks associated with the presence of these toxic compounds.

Prediction of polychlorinated dibenzofuran congener distribution from gas-phase phenol condensation pathways

A model for predicting the distribution of dibenzofuran and polychlorinated dibenzofuran (PCDF) congeners from a distribution of phenols was developed. The model is based on a simplified chemical mechanism. Relative rate constants and reaction order with respect to phenol precursors were derived from experimental results using single phenols and equal molar mixtures of up to four phenols. For validation, experiments were performed at three temperatures using a distribution of phenol and 19 chlorinated phenols as measured in municipal waste incinerator exhaust gas. Comparison of experimental measurements and model predictions for PCDF isomer distributions and homologue pattern shows agreement within measurement uncertainty. The R-squared correlation coefficient exceeds 0.9 for all PCDF isomer distributions and the distribution of PCDF homologues. These results demonstrate that the distribution of dibenzofuran and the 135 PCDF congeners from gas-phase condensation of phenol and chlorinated phenols can be predicted from measurement of the distribution of phenol and the 19 chlorinated phenol congeners.
