FRANCIS W. HOLM 7102 Meadow Lane, Chevy Chase, MD 20815 The North
Atlantic Treaty Organization (NATO) sponsored an Advanced Research
Workshop (ARW) in Prague, Czech Republic, on 1-2 July 1996, to
collect and study information on mobile alternative and
supplemental demilitarization technologies and to report these
fmdings. The mobile, or transportable, technologies identified for
assessment at the workshop are alternatives to incineration
technology for destruction of munitions, chemical warfare agent,
and associated materials and debris. Although the discussion
focused on the treatment of metal parts and explosive or energetic
material, requirements for decontamination of other materials were
discussed. The mobile alternative technologies are grouped into
three categories based on process bulk operating temperature: low
(0-200 C), medium (200-600 C), and high (600- 3,500 C). Reaction
types considered include hydrolysis, biodegradation,
electrochemical oxidation, gas-phase high-temperature reduction,
stearn reforming, gasification, sulfur reactions, solvated electron
chemistry, sodium reactions, supercritical water oxidation, wet air
oxidation, and plasma torch technology. These categories represent
a broad spectrum of processes, some of which have been studied only
in the laboratory and some of which are in commercial use for
destruction of hazardous and toxic wastes. Some technologies have
been developed and used for specific commercial applications;
however, in all cases, research, development, test, and evaluation
(RDT &E) is necessary to assure that each technology
application is effective for destroying chemical warfare materiel.
