AI Technical Summary

Benefits of technology

The modified materials effectively remove contaminants for extended periods, converting them into less toxic forms, offering improved protection against CWAs and other toxic substances, with the ability to regenerate and maintain water resistance and surface area, while also enhancing fabric properties.

Problems solved by technology

Decreasing the potential danger of contaminants from the environment has long been a significant issue.
These creams, however, can only provide limited exposure to a CWA for a short period of time.
Furthermore, the creams cannot convert the CWA to an inactive form, which will reduce the overall toxicity of the CWA.
Although the prior art discloses a number of different applications of polyoxometalate powders or coatings, the art does not disclose the use of a powder or coating containing a polyoxometalate to remove a contaminant from the environment.

Oxidation of CEES to CEESO by a POM / TSP Mixture Under Ambient Conditions after 40 Days

[0134]PFPE #1511 (0.525 g) was combined with AgxNa5-xPV2Mo10O40 (0.066 g, 3.81×10−5 mol) to give a 11% weight / weight POM / cream mixture. The POM / cream mixture was placed in a 18 mL glass vial fitted with a poly(tetrafluoroethylene) (PTFE) stopper. A sufficient amount of 2-chloroethyl ethyl sulfide (CEES) was added to the mixture to completely submerge the POM / cream mixture. After 40 days, 10 μL of the CEES solution surrounding the POM / cream mixture was removed and diluted into 100 μL of 2,2,2-trifluoroethanol (TFE). GC-MS of this solution showed the presence of 2-chloroethyl ethyl sulfoxide (CEESO).

Oxidation of CEES to CEESO by POM / TSP Mixtures Under Ambient Conditions

[0135]The CEES composition used in all trials was composed of 9.0 mL of CEES combined with 100 μL of 1,3-dichlorobenzene, where the 1,3-dichlorobenzene was added as an internal reference. Each POM / PFPE #1511 cream mixture (approximately 0.3 g) was smeared at the bottom of an 18 mL glass vial and fitted with a PTFE cap. The CEES composition (1.0 mL) was then added and each vial was left undisturbed for several days under ambient conditions, with periodic GC analysis of the CEES / reference solution to check for CEESO formation. For GC analysis, 10 μL of the CEES / reference solution surrounding the POM / cream mixture was diluted in 100 μL of TFE and analyzed. The results are shown in Table 1.

Catalytic Oxidation of CEES by POMs in 2,2,2-Trifluoroethanol after 14 Days Under Ambient Conditions

[0136]A CEES solution was prepared by mixing 85.8 mM of CEES; 1.51×10−5 to 1.82×10−5 mmol of catalyst; 100 μL 1,3-dichlorobenzene (internal standard); and 85 mL of 2,2,2-trifluoroethanol, at 25° C. under ambient air. In a typical run, 5.0 mL of the CEES solution was combined with enough catalyst to yield a CEES:POM ratio of 20:1, and the mixture was stirred for 14 days. The results are shown in Table 2.

Abstract

The invention relates to a polyoxometalate topical composition for removing a contaminant from an environment, comprising a topical carrier and at least one polyoxometalate, with the proviso that the polyoxometalate is not H5PV2Mo10O40; K5Si(H2O)MnIIIW11O39; K4Si(H2O)MnIVW11O39; or K5CoIIIW12O40. The invention further relates to a method for removing a contaminant from an environment, comprising contacting the polyoxometalate topical composition of the present invention with the environment containing the contaminant for a sufficient time to remove the contaminant from the environment. The invention further relates to a method for removing a contaminant from an environment, comprising contacting a polyoxometalate powder or a polyoxometalate coating with the environment containing the contaminant for a sufficient time to remove the contaminant from the environment. The invention further relates to a modified polyoxometalate, wherein the modified polyoxometalate comprises the admixture of (1) a polyoxometalate and (2) a cerium compound, a silver compound, a gold compound, a platinum compound, or a combination thereof. The invention further relates to a method for removing a contaminant from an environment, comprising contacting a modified material with the environment containing the contaminant for a sufficient time to remove the contaminant from the environment, wherein the modified material comprises (1) a material and (2) a metal compound comprising a transition metal compound, an actinide compound, a lanthanide compound, or a combination thereof, wherein the metal compound is not a polyoxometalate. The invention further relates to a modified material for removing a contaminant from an environment, wherein the modified material comprises (1) a material comprising a topical carrier, a powder, a coating, or a fabric, and (2) a metal compound comprising a transition metal compound, an actinide compound, a lanthanide compound, or a combination thereof, wherein the metal compound is not a polyoxometalate.
