Glyphosate (GP) is a widely used herbicide worldwide, yet accumulation of GP and its main byproduct, aminomethylphosphonic acid (AMPA), in soil and water has raised concerns about its potential effects to human health. Thermal treatment processes are one option for decontaminating material containing GP and AMPA, yet the thermal decomposition chemistry of these compounds remains poorly understood. Here, we have revealed the thermal decomposition mechanism of GP and AMPA by applying computational chemistry and reaction rate theory methods. <br>

ABSTRACTChemical reaction rate theory is used to model the kinetics of precipitation reactions in Al alloys, including the effects of continuous cooling and thermally generated point defects. The computational method models the processes of nucleation, growth, and coarsening within a single framework. Calculated time and temperature dependent precipitate number densities and sizes during the homogeneous precipitation of the A13Sc phase in an Al-.11 at% Sc alloy are shown to compare favorably with experimental observations.

AbstractThis paper describes the application of ab-initio molecular orbital (MO) theories in conjunction with reaction rate theory to obtain thermochemistry and energetics of nucleation processes. The specific example used for the illustration of this approach is the nucleation of SiO. MO computations on the equilibrium structures have shown the polymers up to the tetramer to be planar rings and exothermic to addition of the monomer. Transition state analysis has shown that subsequent addition of the monomer (SiO) most likely proceeds without an energy barrier. Reaction rate theory analysis of the polymerization shows the rate coefficients to be very pressure dependent, with the dimer formation process rate limiting. Oxidation of clusters however showed a substantial barrier which should result in oxygen deficient clusters.

ABSTRACTAb initio molecular orbital calculations coupled to RRKM reaction rate theory have been conducted on some important reactions involved in the oxidation of silane in a high-temperature/high H2O environment. The results indicate thatH2O acts as an oxygen donor to SiH2 to form H3SiOH or SiH2O. Subsequent reactions involve the formation of (HSiOOH, H2Si(OH)2,:Si(OH)2 or SiO). In turn SiO polymerizes into planar rings, without an activation energy barrier. A list of calculated thermochemical data are also presented for a number of equilibrium species.
