The invention relates to a process and a device for decontaminating waters, especially groundwaters, which are heavily and complexly polluted with organic halogen compounds (HHC), in which process the contaminated waters are pre-treated in order to convert low-volatility HHC into more readily volatile components, the halogenated hydrocarbons are subsequently transferred from the aqueous phase to the gaseous phase where complete conversion into halogen-free compounds takes place at elevated temperature by means of catalytic reductive dehalogenation.

Iron particles for purifying soil or ground water of the present invention comprise a mixed phase of α-Fe phase and Fe3O4 phase, and having a BET specific surface area of 5 to 60 m2 / g, an Fe content of not less than 75% by weight based on the weight of the iron particles and a sulfur content of not less than 1,000 ppm. The iron particles are capable of decomposing or insolubilizing harmful substances such as organohalogen compounds and / or heavy metals, cyanogen, etc. contained in the soil or ground water in efficient, continuous and economical manners.

The present invention provides: a catalyst which has more excellent removability upon organohalogen compounds and is suitable for removing the organohalogen compounds from exhaust gases; and a process for removing organohalogen compounds with this catalyst. The catalyst for removing organohalogen compounds comprises titanium oxide (TiO2) and vanadium oxide as catalytic components, and has pores that includes a group of pores having a pore diameter distribution peak in the range of 0.01 to 0.05 μm and another group of pores having a pore diameter distribution peak in the range of 0.1 to 0.8 μm, and this catalyst is characterized by further comprising an oxide of at least one metal selected from the group consisting of manganese, cobalt, nickel, zinc, zirconium, niobium, molybdenum, tin, tantalum, lanthanum and cerium as another catalytic component. The process for removing organohalogen compounds involves the use of this catalyst.

A catalyst for treating exhaust gases having excellent durability and performance for removing nitrogen oxides and organic halogen compounds and a low SO2 oxidation rate, a titanium oxide suitable for preparing the catalyst and a method for treating exhaust gases containing nitrogen oxides and / or organic halogen compounds using the catalyst are provided.The BET specific surface areas of the titanium oxide and the catalyst for treating exhaust gases are in the range of 85 to 250 m2 / g and in the range of 50 to 200 m2 / g respectively. The titanium oxide and the catalyst for treating exhaust gases have each a ratio in the range of 15 to 145%, the ratio of the intensity of the peak indicating an anatase crystal present in the range of 2θ=24.7° to 2θ=25.7° of powder X-ray diffraction thereof (Ia) to the intensity of the peak indicating an anatase crystal present in the range of 2θ=24.7° to 2θ=25.7° of powder X-ray diffraction of the standard sample comprising a mixture composed of 15% by mass of pure anatase-type titanium dioxide and 85% by mass of pure rutile-type titanium dioxide (Ib).
