LOW-TEMPERATURE, LIQUID-PHASE PROCESSES 121 Reaction with ethanolamine. HD reacts rapidly with ethanolamine (Eq. 10) to give products of reduced hazard (Durst et al., 1988). Ethanolamine has been praised by these authors for its numerous advantages: "relatively high flash point, relatively non-toxic..., non-corrosive to metals, inexpensive, relatively stable." It will, however, also increase the oxidation load for final destruction and might generate undesirable quantifies of nitrogen oxides in subsequent combustion processes. Reduction Methods Conceivably Applicable to GB, VX, and H Prominent among methods reported here are some that would effect reduction of GB, VX and/or H. Some of the conceivable reduction products (notably Na3P, Na 2S, PH3, H2S, and CO) are very toxic and could not responsibly be discharged into the environment. Additional treatment to destroy them would therefore be implied. Reactions with reducing agents used in organic synthesis. In recent decades, many powerful or specific reducing agents have been found to be very useful
