Abstract
The concept of a complex catalytic processing of organochlorine production wastes using self-organizing nickel-based catalysts is proposed. Using 1,2‑dichloroethane as a model compound, the process of carbon erosion of a bulk Ni‑Cr alloy with the formation of dispersed particles catalyzing the growth of carbon nanofibers has been studied. This approach was found to be versatile and applicable for the processing of multicomponent mixtures of chlorine-substituted hydrocarbons, including the real wastes of polyvinyl chloride production. The prospects of using the carbon nanomaterial obtained from chlorine-containing waste to produce polymer composites are discussed.
