Abstract: A brief literature survey is given of various treatment methods of destruction of chloro organic compounds. These mainly include persistent organic pollutants as outlined by the Stockholm Convention (2001): aldrin, chlordane, DDT, dieldrin, dioxins, endrin, furans, hexachlorobenzene, heptachlor, mirex, polychlorinated biphenyls, and toxaphene). Scientific and patent literature shows that hazardous chemicals and pesticides are successfully eliminated by various chemical, physical, and biological methods. Chemical methods include incineration, destruction through chemical reaction, catalytic oxidation and reduction, hydrolysis, etc. Among the physical methods one should outline adsorption techniques, flocculation, mechanical destruction, absorptive destruction, electric destruction, safe disposal. Biological methods involve enzymatic degradation and microbial destruction. Special treatment technologies including catalytic methods are also concerned.
