Destruction of Persistent Organic Pollutants (POPs) in the environment is urgent due to the health hazards they impose. In this study, detoxification of dechlorination of 1, 2, 3-trichlorobenzene as a model POPs was investigated using an environment-friendly electrochemical system. The system operates more rapidly under relatively lesser amount of solvent compared with other known systems. The Na ion electrolytes act as mediator with catalytic PdO sintered cathode electrode. The dechlorination yield was 87.4%.
