Nuclear Magnetic Resonance (NMR) Procedures for the Characterization of Productsfrom the VX/NaOH Demilitarization Process

摘要

Taking advantage of the unique capabilities of nuclear magnetic resonance (NMR).spectroscopy, methods were developed to characterize the two phase samples resulting from the hydrolysis of VX (S-2-DIISOPROPYL AMINOethyl O-ethyl methylphosphonothio ate) in aqueous solutions of NaOH. Methods were developed to determine the mole ratios of the major compounds present (>0.1 mole%) and to evaluate the product for residual VX in the upper organic layer and for residual
