Patent

CA 2275154

Energetic materials, such as nitrocellulose, TNT, RDX, and combinations thereof, optionally, in combination with chemical warfare agents, such as mustard gas, Lewisite, Tabun, Sarin, Toman, VX and combinations thereof, are destroyed when reacted with solvated electrons which are preferably produced by dissolving an active metal such as sodium in a nitrogenous base such as anhydrous liquid ammonia. A reactor system (10) used to carry out the process comprises a reaction vessel (20) to receive the energetic material, a solvator (30) containing the nitrogenous base in which to dissolve the active metal, a condenser (50) for treating gas evolved from the reaction vessel and to separate the reaction products into a liquid fraction and a solid fraction, a dissolver (78) for containing the solid fraction with water to produce a fluid mixture and an oxidizer (80) for oxidizing the fluid mixture.

Cette invention concerne un procédé de destruction par réaction chimique de matières explosives telles que de la nitrocellulose, du TNT, du RDX ou des combinaisons de ces derniers, ces matières pouvant éventuellement être combinées à des agents de guerre chimique tels que le gaz moutarde, la lewisite, le tabun, le sarin, le toman, le VX ou des combinaisons de ces derniers. Ce procédé consiste à faire réagir les matières explosives et, le cas échéant, les agents de guerre chimique avec des électrons solvatés. Ces derniers sont de préférence obtenus en dissolvant un métal actif tel que du sodium dans une base azotée telle que de l'ammoniac liquide anhydre.
