“…Among them, photochemical (Betterton et al, 2000), electrochemical (Wirtz et al, 2000), ultrasonic (Rodriguez and Lafuente, 2002), supercritical (Yak et al, 2000), microbial (Kuipers et al, 1999), and radiolytic and thermal (Yamamoto and Tagawa, 2001;Jones et al, 2003) reductive methods have been reported. In general, chemical methods have been by far the most studies ones (Grushin and Alper, 1994;Ukisu et al, 2000;Lipshutz, 2001;Mitoma et al, 2001;Alonso et al, 2002;Gopinath et al, 2003). Catalytic hydrodechlorination with homogenous (Grushin and Alper, 1994) or heterogeneous catalysts (Aramendia et al, 2003;Santoro et al, 2003; Simagina et al, 2003;Yuan and Keane, 2003) is recognized as a facile and efficient procedure.…”
