Abstract;This paper explains the following items on the titled study: 1) Objectives; to study effectiveness of electron irradiation on decomposition of dioxins in waste gas and clarify decomposition characteristics, 2) test method; pentachlorobenzene (I) and 1,2,3,4-tetrachlorodibenzo-p-dioxin (II) were adsorbed on magnesium silicate powder to prepare model fly ash, 3) test results on I; 96 % was decomposed by irradiation of 300 kGy, however, low chlorinated compounds generated, which lowered total decomposition rate of chlorobenzenes to 62 %. Chlorine at carbon (3) position was more easily detached due to low dissociation energy as clarified by "ab initio calculation", 4) test results on II; nearly the same decomposition rate as in I was obtained. Chlorine at carbon (2) or (3) position was more easily detached, 5) decomposition started from dechlorination, then benzene ring cleavage and 6) conclusion; in treatment of high chlorinated dioxins by electron irradiation, high toxic substances with a substitution group at carbon (2) or (3) position may be generated little.
