| Abstract: | Nanocrystalline magnesium oxide has been prepared by the sol-gel method and
characterized by X-ray diffraction, N2-BET, SEM and infrared spectroscopic
techniques. Results confirm the formation of nano-MgO materials with crystallite size in the range of 5-20 nm
and surface area of 336-556 m2/g. The product has been tested as destructive adsorbent
for the decontamination of
(2-chloroethyl) phenyl sulfide, a mimic of bis(2-chloroethyl)
sulfide ("HD" or mustard gas). Destructive adsorbent reaction has
been carried out in heptane and methanol media and investigated by GC-FID and
GC-MS techniques. Reaction rate in heptane is observed to be higher than in
methanol. It seems that a nonpolar media aids material transfer to the reactive
surface sites without blocking these sites. |
