The object of this research effort was to develop an improved multiagent decontaminant and/or decontaminants, with respect to DS2. Three approaches were investigated: (1) a study of chelating and/or clathrating agents, (2) studies to decrease toxicity and fuming by reduction of the amine through substitution of solvating agents, (3) studies of azeotropic solutions. The gas-liquid chromatograph and the DB-3 tube technique were utilized for analytical purposes. The glc was further ...
The objectives of the research are to investigate and establish through a comprehensive literature survey, theoretical studies, and laboratory investigations, the feasibility of: Using charcoal beds at elevated temperatures for removal of toxic chemical vapors; and Using heated reactive metal surfaces for the removal of breakdown products from chemical agents decomposed by catalytic or thermal decomposition. The present report discusses the laboratory experimental equipment to be used to test the ...
