AbstractWe report on laboratory studies of the thermal decomposition of TNT under a variety of conditions. Our goal is a better understanding of the soil contamination detection technique used in site characterization using cone penetrometers, in which hot filament pyrolysis results in small gaseous molecules, such as NO, which can be detected by a variety of methods to indicate the presence of explosives in the soil. Our laboratory studies use a long-path sampling cell and tunable infrared diode laser absorption, which provide sensitive, specific, time-resolved detection of several of the key decomposition products. In this paper, we present both the initial results of laboratory experiments on mixtures of soil and TNT, designed to simulate the operation of a cone penetrometer probe, and also results of a series of heated tube experiments which serve to relate the first type of experiment to previously reported TNT decomposition studies.

The infrared multiphoton dissociation (IRMPD) of "neat" hexafluoroethane has been investigated for the first time. The stable products of photolysis are CF4, C2F4, C3F8, and C4F10. Product analysis involved tunable diode laser (TDL) and fourier transform infrared spectroscopy, as well as gas chromatography where applicable. The high sensitivity and resolution of the TDL allows for measurement of the stable products CF4 and C2F4 after irradiation by a single infrared laser pulse. The yield of CF3 radicals produced by the IRMPD of C2F6 as a function of fluence was measured via the TDL high frequency modulation technique. The role of added H2, leading to elimination of CF4 and increase of C2F4 as products, is clarified.
