Reactions 2 and 3 conducted simultaneously<br />

The hydrolysis Reaction 2 is then realised at 390°C without chlorine formation. The temperature is<br />

then raised to 530°C to realise Reaction 3, the dissociation <strong>of</strong> the melanothallite. During this step, a<br />

transient species is observed around 330 nm which disappears at 530°C. The gases formed are<br />

collected in three containers and analysed by mass spectrometry. Oxygen formation is measured. DRX<br />

spectrum realised on the final product indicates the presence <strong>of</strong> CuCl and CuO.<br />
