A Dissertation Presented for the Doctor of Philosophy Degree The University of Tennessee, Knoxville Briana M. McDowell May 2021 Copyright © 2021 by Briana M. McDowell. All rights reserved. ii Abstract Trichlorofluoromethane (CFC-11), dichlorofluoromethane (CFC-12), and tetrachloromethane (CT) are fully halogenated methanes that were produced as refrigerants in the early part of the 1900s and later used in many industrial processes. They are ozone-depleting agents and common groundwater contaminants. They are volatile chemicals that are moderately soluble in water. Due to their volatility when released to the environment, they are predominantly found in the atmosphere, though they also dissolve into the groundwater. In anaerobic environments, they can undergo dehalogenation reactions with several redox-active compounds. This dissertation presents results from two treatability studies from sites contaminated with CFC-11, CFC-12, and CT. Additionally, the effect of pH on the dehalogenation of CFC-11, CFC-12, and CT is examined, and a sulfidogenic enrichment culture grown in the presence of CT is characterized. The first treatability study indicates that the addition of reactive iron species (i.e., zero-valent iron or ferrous sulfide) combined with the bioaugmentation culture KB-1 Plus and lactate can facilitate the transformation of CT into non- halogenated end products. The most effective remediation strategy for CT observed during the treatability study for the second contaminated site was the addition of zero- valent iron; this facilitated the transformation of CT to chloroform (CF). CF is a non- desirable end product, and additional remediation efforts are recommended for the second contaminated site. A shift in the type of transformation products formed during the reduction of CFC-11, CFC-12, or CT by super-nucleophilic cobalamin was observed as pH increased. Mackinawite and vivianite were identified as the two precipitate phases formed in the presence of the sulfidogenic enrichment culture. Vivianite formation likely occurs via precipitation with the phosphate present in the medium, and that mackinawite forms via precipitation with hydrogen sulfide produced by the sulfidogenic bacteria present in the enrichment. Additionally, a greater decline in CT was observed in microcosms that contained active enrichment culture than in heat-killed controls, suggesting that the consortium aids in the degradation of CT, probably via mackinawite formation, as it is a reactive iron species. iii Table of Contents INTRODUCTION

China *Author to whom correspondence should be addressed: e-mail [email protected] Received: 7 April 2003; in revised form: 7 July 2003 / Accepted: 20 July 2003 / Published: 31 July 2003 Abstract: An improved method for the generation of dichlorocarbene was developed that utilizes ultrasound in the reaction of carbon tetrachloride with magnesium. High yields of gem-dichlorocyclopropane derivatives can be obtained in the presence of olefins by this method. Keywords: Dichlorocarbene; gem-dichlorocyclopropanes; ultrasonic irradiation; olefin addition; magnesium Introduction Gem-dichlorocyclopropanes are valuable intermediates in organic synthesis [1,2]. They are typically prepared by the addition of dichlorocarbene to olefins under phase-transfer catalysis conditions [3-5]. Sonochemical generation of dichlorocarbene has also been reported [6-8]. The reactions of dichlorocarbene with olefins in solid-liquid two-phase systems using ultrasonication usually afford high yields of double-bond addition products. In addition, excellent yields of diadducts have been obtained from dienes and dichlorocarbene under ultrasonication and phase-transfer catalyst [9]. Molecules 2003, 8 609 Previously, we reported a novel route for the generation of dichlorocarbene by the reaction of carbon tetrachloride with magnesium in a neutral medium and hypothesized that the mechanism of these reactions might involve a single electron transfer [10]. However, these reactions suffered from several experimental drawbacks: some of the major ones being the sudden exotherm that occurs after an unpredictable induction period, foaming, and in some cases, the use of iodine as the activating agent.

  • Chloroform 18.08.2020.Pdf
    Chloroform Chloroform, or trichloromethane, is an organic compound with formula CHCl3. It is a colorless, sweet-smelling, dense liquid that is produced on a large scale as a precursor to PTFE. It is also a precursor to various refrigerants. It is one of the four chloromethanes and a trihalomethane. It is a powerful anesthetic, euphoriant, anxiolytic and sedative when inhaled or ingested. Formula: CHCl₃ IUPAC ID: Trichloromethane Molar mass: 119.38 g/mol Boiling point: 61.2 °C Density: 1.49 g/cm³ Melting point: -63.5 °C The molecule adopts a tetrahedral molecular geometry with C3v symmetry. Chloroform volatilizes readily from soil and surface water and undergoes degradation in air to produce phosgene, dichloromethane, formyl chloride, carbon monoxide, carbon dioxide, and hydrogen chloride. Its half-life in air ranges from 55 to 620 days. Biodegradation in water and soil is slow. Chloroform does not significantly bioaccumulate in aquatic organisms. Production:- In industry production, chloroform is produced by heating a mixture of chlorine and either chloromethane (CH3Cl) or methane (CH4). At 400–500 °C, a free radical halogenation occurs, converting these precursors to progressively more chlorinated compounds: CH4 + Cl2 → CH3Cl + HCl CH3Cl + Cl2 → CH2Cl2 + HCl CH2Cl2 + Cl2 → CHCl3 + HCl Chloroform undergoes further chlorination to yield carbon tetrachloride (CCl4): CHCl3 + Cl2 → CCl4 + HCl The output of this process is a mixture of the four chloromethanes (chloromethane, dichloromethane, chloroform, and carbon tetrachloride), which can then be separated by distillation. Chloroform may also be produced on a small scale via the haloform reaction between acetone and sodium hypochlorite: 3 NaClO + (CH3)2CO → CHCl3 + 2 NaOH + CH3COONa Deuterochloroform[ Deuterated chloroform is an isotopologue of chloroform with a single deuterium atom.

  • Refrigerant Safety Refrigerant History
    Refrigerant Safety The risks associated with the use of refrigerants in refrigeration and air­conditioning equipment can include toxicity, flammability, asphyxiation, and physical hazards. Although refrigerants can pose one or more of these risks, system design, engineering controls, and other techniques mitigate this risk for the use of refrigerant in various types of equipment. Refrigerant History Nearly all of the historically used refrigerants were flammable, toxic, or both. Some were also highly reactive, resulting in accidents (e. g., leak, explosion) due to equipment failure, poor maintenance, or human error. The task of finding a nonflammable refrigerant with good stability was given to Thomas Midgley in 1926. With his associates Albert Leon Henne and Robert Reed McNary, Dr. Midgley observed that the refrigerants then in use comprised relatively few chemical elements, many of which were clustered in an intersecting row and column of the periodic table of elements. The element at the intersection was fluorine, known to be toxic by itself. Midgley and his collaborators felt, however, that compounds containing fluorine could be both nontoxic and nonflammable. The attention of Midgley and his associates was drawn to organic fluorides by an error in the literature that showed the boiling point for tetrafluoromethane (carbon tetrafluoride) to be high compared to those for other fluorinated compounds. The correct boiling temperature later was found to be much lower. Nevertheless, the incorrect value was in the range sought and led to evaluation of organic fluorides as candidates. The shorthand convention, later introduced to simplify identification of the organic fluorides for a systematic search, is used today as the numbering system for refrigerants.

Rockville, Maryland, USA. Peter B. Sunderland, Ph.D. University of Maryland Department of Fire Protection Engineering College Park, Maryland, USA. May 2019 © 2019 Fire Protection Research Foundation 1 Batterymarch Park, Quincy, MA 02169-7417, USA Email: [email protected] | Web: nfpa.org/foundation ---page intentionally left blank--- —— Page ii —— FOREWORD The ongoing push toward sustainability of refrigeration systems will require the adoption of low global warming potential (GWP) refrigerants to meet the shift in environmental regulations. Fire safety is a lingering issue with the new age of flammable refrigerants being adopted and first responders may not be familiar with the change in material hazards or the appropriate response procedures required to safely handle these fire scenarios. This project is part of the overall two-year project with a goal to enhance firefighter safety and reduce potential injury by providing training on the hazards from appliances with flammable refrigerants. It will document the information about flammable refrigerants technologies and the hazards to emergency responders and develop interactive training modules to transfer the knowledge to the fire service. This report is focused to develop material documenting the hazards associated with flammable refrigerant technologies and the risks posed to the first responders. The material documentation included a literature review, Task 1, identifying baseline information on flammable refrigerants, their existing usage and implementation into products, potential integration into future technologies, and finally any existing guidance and best practices on response and tactics.
