Abstract: Oxidation of per- and polyfluoroalkyl compounds (PFAS) contaminated solids and liquids in an in-situ desired zone of treatment using high redox potential free-radicals. An oxidant and a metal catalyst are combined forming a low temperature thermal remediation of PFAS through chemical oxidation in-situ.

Abstract: The present invention relates to reduction of per- and polyfluoroalkyl compounds (PFAS) in a desired zone of treatment for the continuous remediation of contaminated solids and liquids. In particular, embodiments of the present invention relate to the in-situ treatment of solids and liquids by a particular combination of reagent and conditions. The reagents include an oxidant and a metal catalyst. Disclosed method combines low temperature thermal remediation with chemical oxidation to destroy poly- and perfluoroalkyl substances in-situ. The disclosed methods may enhance destruction of organic contaminants in the desired zone of treatment. The present invention also relates to a method for applying the remediation compositions to contaminated sites and controlling the process by monitoring the degradation event to achieve maximum reduction of PFAS.

Abstract: A process for preparation of 10-oxo-10,11-dihydro-5H-dibenz[b,f]azepine-5-carboxamide (oxcarbazepine) via intermediate 10-methoxy-5H-dibenz[b,f]azepine-5-carbonyl chloride, comprising the steps: a) Preparation of an intermediate 10-methoxy-5H-dibenz[b,f]azepine-5 carbonyl, chloride from 10-methoxyiminostillbene using bis (trichloromethyl) carbonate (BTC) with organic base such as aliphatic or aromatic tertiary amines in organic solvent; b) Conversion of the intermediate to 10-methoxy-5H-dibenz[b,f]azepine-5-carboxamide using ammonia in organic solvent; c) Formation of oxcarbazepine from step (b) using Bronsted acid in an organic solvent at a temperature between 25° C.-80° C., preferably at 50° C. to 70° C.; and d) Isolation of oxcarbazepine.
