 | The report is a compilation of abstracts of the research results presented at the 12th AFOSR Contractors Meeting on Kinetics of Energy Conversion held at Western Michigan University in Kalamazoo, Michigan on 9-10 September 1971. The research presented was concerned with the topics of combustion and ignition kinetics, rates of elementary reactions, and the preparation of and the study of the properties of energetic species.

|
| The current study has examined the influence of supercritical water (SW) on reactions of organic chlorides. The aliphatic compounds were represented by 1-chloro-3-phenylpropane which reacted rapidly and completely by both pyrolysis and with SW. The presence of SW produced only a minor shift in organic products. SW did promote the reaction between the metal walls and the chloride, or HCl formed from it, to quantitatively produce metal chlorides, as confirmed ... |

|
 | The study of the rate of the H2-OF2 reaction was continued using a magnesium reactor. The surface contributions to the rate in this reactor were significantly reduced and were considered insignificant. The order of the fully inhibited reaction was reasonably well established as first for OF2 and zero for H2; the data for the uninhibited reaction was less conclusive. A mechanism was proposed which appeared consistent with both sets of ... |

|
| The suitability of the mechanism proposed to describe the kinetic data for the pyrolysis of OF2 was discussed. In view of its limitations, an alternate mechanism was proposed, which is consistent with all of the most recent kinetic data. The study of the rate of the H2-OF2 reaction was continued in a magnesium reactor in an attempt to further reduce the surface effects. The indications are that the heterogeneous contributions ... |

|
| The rate of OF2 pyrolysis was rechecked using a magnesium reactor. The order was again found to be less than one for OF2 diluted with He, consistent with the previous data from the monel reactor. A mechanism was proposed consistent with this and other recent pyrolysis data. Attempts at obtaining reproducible, meaningful kinetic data for the H2-N2F4 reaction were not successful. The remainder of the effort was concentrated on obtaining ... |

|
| This study was initiated to determine if and under what conditions supercritical water (SW) would facilitate the removal of heteroatoms (specifically N, Cl and S) from organic compounds. These atoms are representative of those which are present in many hazardous materials which may require efficient methods of disposal. The compounds investigated were: trihexylamine, quinuclidine, benzylidenebenzylamine, quinoline, phenylpiperidine, phenylpyridine, nitrotoluene, dinitrotoluene, ethyl benzilate, cyclohexyl acetate, benzaldehyde, benzyl alcohol, benzyl benzoate, benzoic ... |
