Abstract
When 1.5% of ferric nitrate, 2% of picolinic acid (GD 2100) or salicylal-amino-guanidine (GD 2101), and 96.5% of iron-free technical DDT of setting pt. 90.1[degree]C were mixed and heated 24 hrs. at 110-120[degree]C, the resulting dehydrohalogenation was negligible (1% for GD 2100; 2.5% for GD 2101). Without inhibitors, the resulting dehydrohalogenatiou was complete under the same conditions. The inhibition of the iron-catalyzed thermal decomposition of DDT was not attributable solely to mere buffer action since there was extensive dehydrohalogenation in the presence both of calcium dihydrogen phosphate and of Na2CO3.This publication has 4 references indexed in Scilit:
