Chemical Agent Hydrolysis on dry and Humidified Adsorbents

摘要

This study considers the rate of reaction of GB, GD, VX, and HD on selected adsorbents measured using a solid phase NMR technique. The adsorbents in dry and humidified conditions are exposed to the chemical agents. The rate of disappearance of the starting chemical over time is used to calculate a reaction half time and first order reaction rate. The appearance of reaction product peaks are also noted. The half times for humid conditions are <800 min in all cases, but could be >10,000 min for some dry cases.
