- Description
- The U.S. Army Corps of Engineers (USACE) intends to award a sole source fixed-price purchase order to New Jersey Institute of Technology, for Mechanochemical Nitration of Organic Compounds. The services are to further investigate 1)mechanochemical nitration of organic compounds, 2)investigate the mechanism of mechanochemical nitration such that we gain a better understanding of the process capabilities. This is a follow on effort to a SERDP exploratory development (SEED) project that was completed in FY 17. In the original SEED effort, toluene was nitrated utilizing a ball mill and a series of solid state catalysts. The yields and distributions of nitrated toluenes were determined. Justification: The proposed contractor is the New Jersey Institute of Technology (NJIT). This university has uniquely qualified scientists for this project and they have the expertise in the usage of organo metallic synthesis, energetic materials, materials engineering. The original project, WP-2748, is followed by a proposal WP 19-1383 to extend the effort to additional structures beyond toluene, and to investigate alternative methods to improve yields and selectivity. The original exploratory development project was selected through a competed solicitation in FY 2017 which produced W912HQ-17-P-0009.
