1) Assume we have a phenol waste that we plan to incinerate or thermally destroy via oxidation in a combustion device.

In stoichiometrically perfect combustion/oxidation, is the oxygen in the phenol removed to yield benzene (C6H6) and then the bezene oxidize to CO2 and water vapor by the equation: C6H6 + 7.5O2 = 6CO2 + 3 H2O

2) What if you have a more complex organic like a chlorinated phenol --- say penta chlorophenol that you want to thermally oxidize and destroy.

How would the halogens (chlorine) be removed during oxidation/combustion?

Would the penta-chlorophenol first break down into compounds like dichlorphenol, trichlorophenol, and tetrachlorophenol before being fully oxidized to CO2 and water vapor??

Please explain the steps by which this chlorinated phenol would be oxidized or destroyed in an incinerator or thermal oxidizer. What kind/amount of stoichiometric oxygen would be req'd to fully oxidize a chlorinated compound like this to basic carbon dioxide and water vapor???? And again what happens to the chlorine??

3) Finally, can complex compounds like dioxin and furan actually be thermally oxidized and destroyed?? At what temperature would these compounds actually be destroyed.
