Operation of gasifiers with the materials containing the heteroatoms of chemical agents would need to be demonstrated. Such problems as attack on refractory lirung and metal corrosion could be expected.

As a result of the recycling, most of the gas goes through the detoxification reactor and subsequent cleanup beds several times before being released to the catalytic oxidizer and the atmosphere. The unit operates at a slight negative pressure; any gas leak would be from ambient air into the equipment.

Materials tested to date have had a much lower content of heteroatoms than do neat chemical agents. Propellants and explosives would probably be reacted first in the drum feed evaporator (a simple drum)

wait have to be managed appropriately. Other waste streams watt include any solid residue remaining from the high-temperature evaporation and spent caustic slurry with salts of the acid gases that have been absorbed.

From page 168... ...
Chemical agents contain poorly characterized impurities, including some metallic compounds, which can have high boiling points; they watt probably decompose On heating to form solid carbonaceous residue. These solids watt presumably be left in the evaporator; they watt be mixed with acid salts in the MBE.
