After TCCA reacts in the leaching solution, it will form a variety of cyanurate derivatives. If TCCA fully reacts or is reductively quenched, cyanuric acid will be the final product. To recycle and regenerate the TCCA leaching reagent, these cyanurates can be reoxidized by reaction with electrophilic chlorine species-the method used to manufacture TCCA . To demonstrate regeneration of the TCCA leaching reagent, cyanuric acid was re-chlorinated under basic conditions to form TCCA in 72% yield (Fig. and Fig. ). This process illustrates how TCCA is a practical and effective carrier of chlorine, and how the cyanuric acid product can be recycled back to this key reagent.
