Abstract
Infrared laser beam (CO2 laser and Free Electron Laser) is irradiated on theOctachlorodibenzo-dioxins (mixture of OCDD and OCDF) of 20 ng in weight. Thoughthe decomposition by the irradiation of Free Electron Laser at the wavelength of 22μmor 25 μm is not observed, it is found that the dioxins are decomposed successfully byCO2 laser at the wavelength of 10.6 μm (10W), and that the dioxins are decomposedexcept for Tetra through Heptachlorodibenzo-dioxins.
