Description
TITLE
HIGH-RATE TREATMENT OF 3-NITRO-l,2,4-TRIAZOL-5-ONE (NTO) AND OTHER
MUNITIONS COMPOUNDS
RELATED APPLICATIONS
[0001] This application claims the benefit of U.S. Provisional Application No. 62482987 filed April 7, 2017, and herein incorporated by reference.
STATEMENT REGARDING FEDERALLY SPONSORED RESEARCH & DEVELOPMENT
[0002] This invention was made with government support under Grant No. W912HQ-12- C-0021, awarded by ARMY. The government has certain rights in the invention.
BACKGROUND OF THE INVENTION
[0003] The insensitive munitions compound (IMC), 3-nitro-l,2,4-triazol-5-one (NTO), poses an important environmental concern due to its high aqueous solubility. The high degree of solubility enables NTO to be very mobile in the environment where it could readily cause contamination of groundwater and other water bodies.
[0004] The occurrence of a nitro-group in NTO's structure renders the molecule susceptible to reductive reactions. Reduced iron-containing minerals are well known for their ability to catalyze the reduction of environmental contaminants. Among many Fe(II)- containing minerals, green rusts (GR) are often viewed as the most powerful iron reductants capable of reducing a wide variety of environmental contaminants. GRs are mixed valent iron (Fen/Fein) layered hydroxides and substituted with anions (e.g. sulfate or bicarbonate). They are commonly formed during the biocorrosion of zero valent ion or steel.
[0005] Organohalogens such as perchloroethylene, trichloroethylene, cis- dichloroethylene and vinyl chloride have also been shown to be reductively dehalogenated by GR to ethylene, and ethane. Trichloronitromethane has also been observed to be rapidly degraded to methylamine, and several other disinfection byproducts were also
transformed by hydrolysis and hydrogenolysis. Pentachlorophenol has also been shown to be reductively dechlorinated by GR. GR are responsible for reducing the radionuclide
Np(V) to Np(IV), the metal Cr(VI) to Cr(III) and selenate to elemental selenium. Nitrate is reduced to ammonium.
[0006] It has also been demonstrated that conventional explosive compounds were transformed by GR. RDX and HMX were transformed to nitroso-products; whereas TNT was reduced to aromatic amines. If a similar reaction were to occur with NTO, the organic amine, 3-amino-l,2,4-triazol-5-one (ATO) (Figure 1), would be expected from the reaction.
[0007] Organic amines such as aromatic amines are very susceptible to oxidation by manganese oxide minerals such as birnessite (Mn02). Birnessite can also oxidize aliphatic amines. The original parent compounds of the explosives have standard reduction potentials that are too high to be oxidized; however, as the explosive parent compounds are progressively reduced their reduction potential decrease which increases the oxidation of the molecules.

DETAILED DESCRIPTION OF THE INVENTION
[00031] Detailed embodiments of the present invention are disclosed herein; however, it is to be understood that the disclosed embodiments are merely exemplary of the invention, which may be embodied in various forms. Therefore, specific structural and functional details disclosed herein are not to be interpreted as limiting, but merely as a
representative basis for teaching one skilled in the art to variously employ the present invention in virtually any appropriately detailed method, structure or system. Further, the terms and phrases used herein are not intended to be limiting, but rather to provide an understandable description of the invention.
[00032] In a preferred embodiment, the present invention recognizes that both DNAN and NTO may be susceptible to reduction by GR at 10 g kg-1 solid to solution ratio (SSR). The reaction of NTO with GR was faster and nearly completed within 10 minutes after reaction initiation as shown in Figures 2 A and 2B.
[00033] As shown in Figure 2B, NTO was reductively transformed stoichiometrically to the amine containing daughter product. Similarly, as shown in Figure 2A, DNAN was reductively transformed to MENA, which was then further reduced to DAAN over time. In the case of DNAN, the products, 2-methoxy-5-nitroaniline (MENA) and (DAAN), accumulated in high yields along with 4-methoxy-5-nitroaniline (iMENA), an isomer of MENA.
[00034] As is also shown in Figures 2A and 2B, the normalized absorbance and first derivative Fe-X-ray absorption near edge structure (Fe-XANES) spectra collected from reacted samples indicate oxidation of the GR to lepidocrocite ((gamma-Fein O(OH))-like species during the reductive transformation of DNAN and NTO. This is more evident in the case of NTO as compared to DNAN. The Fe-XANES results show clear shift of oxidation state from Fen/Fein (green rust) to Fein (lepidocrocite) upon reaction with IMCs.
[00035] Accordingly, in a preferred embodiment, a complete to near complete abiotic reductive transformation of IMCs to reduced daughter products in a matter of minutes is achieved by the present invention. While the reduced daughter products are not safe end products because many of them are also toxic compounds, such compounds are highly susceptible to oxidation in a matter of minutes with common, occurring manganese mineral, birnessite.
[00036] DAAN and ATO were also found to be oxidized in less than 5 minutes with 15 g kg-1 solid to solution ratio (SSR) as shown in Figures 3A and 3B. It has also been found that ATO is mineralized to a large extent to benign gaseous end products (CO2 and N2) .
[00037] For one preferred embodiment, the present invention provides a sequence of reductive and oxidative reactions. One or more reactors packed with the reactive minerals GR and Mn02 are provided which can rapidly remediate NTO with cumulative hydraulic retention times of less than 10 minutes. The sequence of reaction is shown in Figure 4.
[00038] In another preferred embodiment, the packing in each reactor may contain minimally 20% mass to volume of the reactive minerals. The products of the reaction will be a mixture of mostly benign gasses. In one aspect, the gasses may be CO2 and N2.
[00039] In yet other embodiments of the present invention, benign urea is also formed in the aqueous phase. For these embodiments, the present invention is suited for treating NTO contaminated groundwater or munitions wastewater.
[00040] Figure 5 provides, for one embodiment of the present invention, an exemplary system 500 that may be used in the treatment of an IMC such as NTO. System 500 may include a first stage of one or more sequentially packed bed reactors 502. The first stage reactors may be filled with green rust mixed with sand 504 (for permeability). In yet other embodiments of the present invention, the first stage reactors may contain solid phase mineral material and/or mineral-based electron donating materials. Inlet 506 receives an IMC influent such as NTO which first flows past glass beads 508.
[00041] Effluent from reactor 502, which may be ATO, is sent to one or more packed bed reactors 510 comprising a second stage via pathway 509 through glass beads 512. Reactor 510 may be filled with birnessite (Mn02) mixed with sand 514. In yet other embodiments of the present invention, the second stage reactors may contain solid phase mineral oxidants. Effluent from reactor 510 is mainly benign gasses such as CO2 and N2.
[00042] In other embodiments, the sequentially connected reactors may contain other materials. For example, for the first stage reactors, instead of green rust, a precursor may be used such as zero valent iron (ZVI) which corrodes to green rust. Or, one reactor of the first stage may contain green rust and another reactor in the sequence may use a precursor such as ZVI. Another reactor in the sequence of the first stage may further contain iron minerals with adsorbed Fe2 +. This material may also be provided for use with or as an alternative to green rust and ZVI. In other embodiments, the first stage reactors may
contain GR, ZVI, iron minerals with adsorbed Fe2+ or combinations thereof in one or more reactors of the first stage.
[00043] One or more of the second stage reactors may be operated by slowly and/or continuously feeding permanganate (MnO^) which is a powerful oxidant that can oxidize ATO (or other reduced munitions compounds) even faster than Μηθ2· At the end of the reaction, MnO¾ forms MnC>2 which would coat the sand particles and provide a lasting reservoir of the MnC>2 oxidant in a packed bed reactor.
[00044] While the foregoing written description enables one of ordinary skill to make and use what is considered presently to be the best mode thereof, those of ordinary skill will understand and appreciate the existence of variations, combinations, and equivalents of the specific embodiment, method, and examples herein. The disclosure should therefore not be limited by the above-described embodiments, methods, and examples, but by all embodiments and methods within the scope and spirit of the disclosure.
