Thermal degradation of sulfur mustard (2,2′-dichlorodiethyl sulfide, HD) in the presence of metal oxide adsorbents was investigated by thermal desorption in conjunction with gas chromatography–mass spectrometry (GC-MS). Zr(OH)4, Al2O3, Al2CoO4, MgO, CeO2, and V2O5were used as metal oxide adsorbents. Neat HD was spiked onto the metal oxides packed in glass tubes, which were kept at room temperature and then heated at moderately elevated temperatures of 100°C by a thermal desorption system. The products of thermal degradation were directly transferred and analyzed by GC-MS. 1,4-Dithiane and 1,4-oxathiane were characterized as the major products of the thermal degradation of HD in the presence of Zr(OH)4, Al2O3, Al2CoO4, and CeO2adsorbents. No effective degradation was observed with MgO and V2O5. Of particular note is Zr(OH)4, which extremely enhanced the thermal degradation of HD.

N doped and S doped nano TiO2 catalysts were synthesized by a sol-gel process followed by hydrothermal treatment at low temperature and tested for catalytic activity by natural sunlight photocatalytic degradation of a toxic chemical warfare agent. It is observed that sulfate groups were anchored on the surface of titania upon doping, and also create active surface oxygen vacancies, both of which are responsible for sunlight absorption and the promotion of electrons to the conduction band. The formation of a superoxide radical (O2-) and hydroxyl radicals may be mainly responsible for the photodegradation of sulfur mustard under sunlight.

Photocatalytic detoxification of sulfur mustard was studied on vanadium ion doped titania nanocatalysts under the irradiation of sunlight. Data obtained on vanadium ion doped titania nanocatalyst was compared with that of bare and commercial TiO2/su

(Chemical Equation Presented) A facile solvent-free hydrolysis (chemical destruction) of the warfare agents VX (O-ethyl S-2-(diisopropylamino)ethyl methylphosphonothioate), GB (O-isopropyl methylphosphonofluoridate or sarin), and HD (2,2′-dichloroethyl sulfide or sulfur mustard) upon reaction with various solid-supported fluoride reagents is described. These solid reagents include different alumina-based powders such as KF/Al2O3, AgF/KF/Al2O3, and KF/Al2O3 enriched by so-called coordinatively unsaturated fluoride ions (termed by us as ECUF-KF/Al2O3). When adsorbed on these sorbents, the nerve agent VX quickly hydrolyzed (t1/2 range between 0.1-6.3 h) to the corresponding nontoxic phosphonic acid EMPA as a major product (>90%) and to the relatively toxic desethyl-VX (1/2 range between 2.2-161 h). The reaction rates and the product distribution were found to be strongly dependent on the nature of the fluoride ions in the KF/Al2O 3 matrix and on its water content. All variations of the alumina-supported fluoride reagents studied caused an immediate hydrolysis of the highly toxic GB (t1/2 31P, 13C, and 19F MAS NMR.
