TY - CONF A1 - Vogel, Christian T1 - Investigating the Thermal Decomposition of PFAS in a Full-Scale Commercial Hazardous Waste Incinerator (SERDP ER24-4073) N2 - Effective and safe treatment of per- and polyfluoroalkyl substances (PFAS)-laden waste in full-scale hazardous waste facilities is currently the only commercial method for large-scale PFAS destruction, but concerns remain about incomplete combustion and harmful byproducts. Therefore, the fate of fluorine during incineration was investigated in a full-scale hazardous waste incinerator to assess the viability and potential risks of this method. The project involves developing advanced analytical tools, including real-time infrared spectroscopy, and conducting trial burns under varied conditions. Conditions that influence incineration performance are identified, analyzing for products of incomplete destruction (PIDs), exploring the role of fly ash and surfaces in PFAS breakdown, and evaluating the potential formation of polyfluorinated dioxins and furans. Collectively, these tasks aim to deliver practical tools and guidance for scientists and engineers, while informing policymakers and the public on the benefits and potential risks of PFAS incineration.

Four corrected datasets were provided to participants ready for analysis. All datasets were measured on samples containing spherical scatterers, with two datasets in dilute dispersions and two from powders. Most of the 46 participants correctly identified the number of populations in the dilute dispersions, with half of the population mean entries within 1.5% and half of the population width entries within 40%. Due to the added complexity of the structure factor, far fewer people submitted answers on the powder datasets.

Time-resolved in situ investigations of milling reactions provide direct insights in the underlying mechanisms.2-4 We recently introduced different setups enabling in situ investigation of mechanochemical reactions using synchrotron XRD combined with Raman spectroscopy and thermography. The presented setup allows the detection of crystalline, amorphous, eutectic, and liquid intermediates. Furthermore, the chemical composition of the reaction mixture was found to be directly correlated with changes in the temperature profile of the reaction. The resulting deeper kinetic and thermodynamic understanding of milling processes is the key for future optimization of mechanochemical syntheses. In this contribution, we will discuss our recent results investigating the formation of (polymorphic) cocrystals and coordination polymers.2,3,5 Our results indicate that in situ investigation of milling reactions offer a new approach to tune and optimize mechanochemical syntheses.

The development of mechanochemistry as a synthetic method is supported by excellent research by many groups worldwide in a wide range of applications. The potential of mechanochemistry is also reflected in the inclusion in IUPAC’s 10 chemical innovations that will change our world’.[1] Solvent-free methodologies lead to unique chemical processes during synthesis with the consequent formation of martials with new properties.2 In this contribution, we will discuss our recent results investigating the formation of (polymorphic) cocrystals, coordination polymers, metal oxides and metal nanoparticles.[3-8] We introduced different setups enabling in situ investigation of mechanochemical reactions using synchrotron XRD combined with Raman spectroscopy and thermography.

Rietveld methods were used for three different purposes: (i) refining all structures solved using powder X-ray diffraction, (ii) performing a quantitative phase analysis of the diffraction data collected from ex situ mechanochemical reactions at different milling times, and (iii) determining the cocrystallization kinetic profiles. The rate of cocrystallization was found to be higher for the formation of CBZ:2,4-DHBA and CBZ:2,6-DHBA, reaching an equilibrium after 600 s of milling. In the case of CBZ:2,5-DHBA a short induction period of 20 s was detected prior to the start of the reaction and an equilibrium was reached after 1200 s. An empirical trend between the rate of cocrystallization and the structural complexity of the cocrystal product was found. The slowest cocrystallization rate observed for CBZ:2,5-DHBA corresponds to the crystal structure deviating substantially from the hydrogen-bonding motif found in the reactants.

T1 - Different mechanical responses of dimorphic forms of Anthracene Schiffbase crystal N2 - We obtained concomitant dimorphic forms of Anthracene Schiffbase (N-(anthracen-9-yl methylene)-2,5- dichloroaniline) from hexane solvent. Two polymorphs can be differentiated by their morphology and mechanical properties. One form is long acicular type and elastically bendable while another form is block shaped and brittle in nature. Mechanical property is attributed to underlying crystal packing. Hirsh- feld analysis and energy framework calculations were done to corroborate structure-property correlation of two forms.

In situ monitoring of the mechanochemical reaction of copper salts with dicyandiamide N2 - n situ monitoring of mechanochemical reactions between dicyandiamide (DCD) and CuX2 salts (X = Cl−, NO3−), for the preparation of compounds of agrochemical interest, showed the appearance of a number of phases. It is demonstrated that milling conditions, such as the amount of water added in wet grinding and/or the milling frequency, may affect the course of the mechanochemical reactions, and drive the reaction towards the formation of different products. It has been possible to discover by in situ monitored experiments two novel crystalline forms, namely the neutral complexes [Cu(DCD)2(OH2)2(NO3)2] (2) and [Cu(DCD)2(OH2)Cl2]·H2O (4), in addition to the previously known molecular salt [Cu(DCD)2(OH2)2][NO3]2·2H2O (1, DIVWAG) and neutral complex [Cu(DCD)2(OH2)Cl2] (3, AQCYCU), for which no synthesis conditions were available. Compounds 2 and 4 were fully characterized via a combination of solid-state techniques, including X-ray diffraction, Raman spectroscopy and TGA.
