[Utilization of detoxification products of yperite-lewisite mixtures]. / Utilizatsiia produktov detoksikatsii ipritno-liuizitnoi smesi.

An approach to developing an ecologically safe technology for disposal of yperite-lewisite mixtures has been developed. The technology includes three sequential stages: (1) detoxification by alkaline hydrolysis (resulting in the loss of toxic properties); (2) electrochemical treatment of detoxification products (electrocoagulation, to eliminate arsenic salts, and electrochemical oxidation, to convert all organic components into bioutilizable matter); and (3) degradation of the compounds obtained at the two preceding stages by a bred microbial association.

[Scientific principles of complex ecologically-safe technology of mustard gas destruction]. / Nauchnye osnovy kompleksnoi ékologicheski bezopasnoi tekhnologii unichtozheniia iprita.

The principles of complex, ecologically-safe technology for the destruction of battle gas mustard were worked out. This technology was based on the reaction alkaline detoxication of mustard; the major component of reaction mixture obtained after detoxication was thiodiglycol. Thorough thiodiglycol mineralization was achieved by electrochemical treatment. Electrolysis products were biologically utilized in biosorber.
