520 |a"Early in World War II, over 700 tons of the chemical warfare agent mustard were shipped from Cornwall, Ontario, to the Defence Research Establishment Suffield, and stored in lead-lined concrete vaults. Research was begun several years ago to find a safe, efficient, environmentally acceptable and economical method of disposing of this still hazardous material. Laboratory studies led to the discovery that, with turbulent mixing and proper control of temperature and acidity, mustard would react with water to produce a non-vesicant hydrolysate mixture. These results were extended and the process further optimized in pilot plant runs, involving a total of several tons of mustard. It was also demonstrated that the hydrolysate could be burned completely in a specially modified incinerator"--Abstract.
