| Abstract: | Decontamination reactions of chemical warfare agent (CWA) simulants (2 chloro ethyl phenyl sulphide and dimethyl
methyl phosphonate) on silver ion exchanged titania nanotubes (Ag+-TiO2 NT) were studied by gas chromatography (GC).
Nanotubes (NTs) were synthesized using hydrothermal-ion exchange method and characterized by SEM-energy dispersive
analysis of X-rays, N2 BET, X-ray diffractometry and thermogravimetry. Formation of hydroxy ethyl phenyl sulphide and
methyl phosphonic acid exemplified the role of hydrolysis reactions in decontamination of CWA simulants. Reactions seemed
to occur considerably faster on Ag+-TiO2 NT indicating catalysis by Ag+. |
