Thermal decomposition of heptafluoropropylene-oxide-dimer acid (GenX)

Maissa A. Adi et al.

Summary: This study investigates the thermal decomposition process of GenX in incinerators and predicts the initiation temperature to be around 700 K. The most favored channel for decomposition involves the simultaneous elimination of HF and CO2, with the production of CF2 at elevated temperatures. Further research on interactions between major fluorine carriers and other constituents in incineration mediums is suggested.

Thermal decomposition of perfluorinated carboxylic acids: Kinetic model and theoretical requirements for PFAS incineration

Mohammednoor Altarawneh et al.

Summary: The study focuses on the thermal transformation of perfluoropentanoic acid in gas-phase reactions, constructing a gas-phase submodel with 56 reactions and 45 species. Theoretical estimates for the operation of PFAS thermal destruction systems were provided based on the formation of small fluorocarbon compounds in a specific temperature window and residence time.

A chemical kinetic model for the decomposition of perfluorinated sulfonic acids

Mohammednoor Altarawneh

Summary: The study investigates the thermal decomposition of perfluorinated sulfonic acids, constructing a detailed kinetic model to illustrate the major chemical reactions involved. Results indicate that major reactions include unimolecular decomposition channels, hydrofluorination, hydrolysis, and fragmentation of the alkyl chain. The model aids in understanding the fate and chemical transformation of PFCs under a pyrolytic environment relevant to waste incineration and fluorine mineralization.

Improving Formaldehyde Removal from Water and Wastewater by Fenton, Photo-Fenton and Ozonation/Fenton Processes through Optimization and Modeling

Ahmad Hosseinzadeh et al.

Summary: This study evaluated, optimized, and modeled the efficiencies of Fenton, photo-Fenton, and ozonation/Fenton processes for formaldehyde elimination in water and wastewater using response surface methodology and artificial neural network. The combined ozonation/Fenton process demonstrated the best performance with 80% formaldehyde removal from wastewater. The sensitivity analysis identified pH as the most important factor influencing the Fenton process, highlighting the significance of these treatment processes and models for formaldehyde elimination from wastewater.
