On the basis of the experimental results, computer simulations of decomposition of dichloroethylenes for three isomers (trans-DCE, cis-DCE, 1,1-DCE) in air under electron beam were carried out. Computer code “Kinetic” and “Gear” method were used. Calculation results well agree with the experimental results. Decomposition efficiency of DCE is mainly determined by Cl- dissociated secondary electron attachment, followed by Cl radical addition reaction with DCE.
