This study describes development of 1,1,1-trichloroethane removal from aqueous solutions. The decomposition of aqueous 1,1,1-trichloroethane is more extensive with combined photolysis and sonolysis process than each separately. The extent of decomposition is measured by gas Chromatograph for removal of CCl 3 CH 3 , by a turbidometric procedure for production of chloride ions, and Fourier transform infrared spectroscopy for solid product. The concept is to degrade CCl 3 CH 3 in water flow systems to chloride ions, which are removable by ion-exchange column.
