The reaction of chlorine with zirconium oxide in the presence of carbon was studied by mass spectrometry. Volatile reaction products were measured at different temperatures and traces of oxygen were detected. We also observed that the CO 2 /CO ratio increases with increasing reaction temperature. The role of the Boudouard reaction in the carbochlorination process is discussed and a reaction mechanism based on chlorine atoms is suggested.
