| ABSTRACT Decontamination process is very important for the detoxification of war gases. Improvement and development of the decontamination solutions is essential since part of them have some drawbacks. In this paper, a decontamination solution based on hydrogen peroxide, sodium bicarbonate, and sodium molybdate was examind for rapid degasing of S-mustard. The effect of changing the concentration of each constituent on the decontamination efficiency was evaluated. Different formulations in the concentration range (0.2-4) M for hydrogen peroxide, (0.1-1) M for sodium bicarbonate and (0.005-0.02) M for sodium molybdate were examined. Decontamination efficiency achieved about 99.9% for sulfur mustard within 5 minutes. The pH of these solutions were found to be within the range (7.5-8.5). | ||
