YPERITE DESTRUCTION METHOD

摘要

FIELD: toxic compound technology. ^ SUBSTANCE: destruction of yperite involves preparation of carbon tetrachloride solution of yperite and carbon tetrabromide, which solution is then exposed to UV emission with wavelength 250-400 nm. After a 4 h irradiation, concentration of yperite decreased by 95-104 times: from 0.084 mole/L to 0.0009-0.00081 mole/L (from 13.333 mg/ml to 0.128-0.141 mg/ml). Reaction results in a mixture of low-toxicity halogen-containing hydrocarbons capable of being vaporized from contaminated surface. ^ EFFECT: enhanced destruction efficiency.
