Chloroacetic acids are common disinfection byproducts in drinking water and are of significant concern due to their strong carcinogenic, mutagenic and hepatotoxic effects. In the present study, the catalytic hydrodechlorination of chloroacetic acids (monochloroacetic acid, dichloroacetic acid and tr...
