Synthesis and characterization of TiO2/Mg(OH)2composites for catalytic degradation of CWA surrogates

Surface catalyzed reactions can be a convenient way to deactivate toxic chemical warfare agents (CWAs) and remove them from the contaminated environment. In this study, pure titanium oxide, magnesium hydroxide, and their composites TiO2/Mg(OH2) were prepared by thermal decomposition and precipitation of the titanium peroxo-complex and/or magnesium nitrate in an aqueous solution. The as-prepared composites were examined by XRD, XPS, HRTEM, and nitrogen physisorption. Their decontamination ability was tested on CWA surrogates and determined by high-performance liquid chromatography (HPLC) and gas chromatography coupled with mass spectrometry (GC-MS). Dimethyl methyl phosphonate (DMMP) was used as a G simulant for the nerve agents sarin (GB) and soman (GD) while 2-chloroethyl ethyl sulfide (2-CEES) and 2-chloroethyl phenyl sulfide (2-CEPS) were used as surrogates of sulfur mustard (HD). The activity of the as-prepared composites was correlated with acid-base properties determined by potentiometric titrations and pyridine adsorption studied byin situDRIFTS. The mixing of Ti and Mg led to an increase of the surface area and the amount of surface -OH groups (with an increasing amount of Ti) that caused improved degradation of DMMP.

Heterogeneous photocatalytic degradation of disulfoton in aqueous TiO 2 suspensions: Parameter and reaction pathway investigations

The photocatalytic degradation of organophosphorus insecticide disulfoton is investigated by having titanium dioxide (TiO2) as a photocatalyst. About 99% of disulfoton is degraded after UV irradiation for 90 min. The effects of the solution pH, catalyst dosage, light intensity, and inorganic ions on the photocatalytic degradation of disulfoton are also investigated, as well as the reaction intermediates which are formed during the treatment. Eight intermediates have been identified and characterized through a mass spectra analysis, giving insight into the early steps of the degradation process. To the best of our knowledge, this is the first study reporting the degradation pathways of disulfoton. The results suggest that possible transformation pathways may involve in either direct electron or hole transfer to the organic substrate. The photodegradation of disulfoton by UV/TiO2 exhibits pseudo-first-order reaction kinetics and a reaction quantum yield of 0.267. The electrical energy consumption per order of magnitude for photocatalytic degradation of disulfoton is 85 kWh/(m3 order).

New preparative procedure for the synthesis of chloroalkyl sulfides

Reaction of thiols with dihaloalkanes in the system hydrazine hydrate-base leads to alkyl(chloroalkyl) sulfides with different positions of the chlorine atom with respect to sulfur. The developed one-step procedure for the synthesis of such unsymmetrical sulfides is most suitable for arenethiols and alkanethiols having a long polymethylene chain. The reaction mechanism is discussed.
