Flow neutralisation of sulfur-containing chemical warfare agents with Oxone: packed bed vs. aqueous solution

The oxidative neutralisation of sulfur-containing CWAs (yperite and VX simulants) with Oxone has been developed in flow systems. In order to reach full selectivity towards harmless decomposition products, Oxone has to be used either in solid form (blister agent detoxification) or aqueous form (nerve agent detoxification).
